For its time, I’m sure it was a breath for fresh air. The New York indie rock scene of the early 2000’s was a throwback to the ‘70’s vibe. Upon further review, it’s kind of eh. Great guitars, good lyrics but a mish mash of production taking what is supposed to be a raw sound and just turns it muddy. If this is what I cut my teeth on as a teen, I’m sure my outlook would change, but it’s just not my thing.
