Although this wasn't my favorite album of the year, it does contain my
favorite song of the year, At Least That's What You Said. This is a
brilliant way to open up this CD; very subtle and yet with the amazing musical
talent that this band possesses, you are able to envision that this is what an
argument with your significant other would sound like if you didn't use words.
Muzzle with Bees, the fourth track, is very simple and melodic, but as you
can guess, the lyrics grabbed with on this song as well. I don't want to steer
the direction away from the music that this band creates, however, because they
are by far the greatest live band I have ever seen. I wasn't even a fan when I
first seen them in concert, but have seen them 3 times since then and would
recommend them to anyone. The line from Muzzle with Bees that really grabbed me
says, "I’m assuming you got my message on your machine/I'm assuming you
love me, and you know what that means". So profound, yet so human and
simple. The entire album is like this.
