Free Music Review: The shape of '00-decade emo to come
Hit: 5 Stars
For every strength on Braid's previous two albums, there was usually a more noticeable weakness: the awkwardness of two singers who couldn't stay in key; the lack of strong melodies; the tendency to get overly technical for no apparent reason. But on Frame and Canvas, the young Midwestern quartet reassessed themselves, brushed off the dirt and grasped the range of their own strengths, creating a seminal document of late-'90s emo in the process. Sure, the album's 12 tracks invite references to longtime Braid inspirations Jawbox, Rites of Spring and Fugazi -- bands who enhanced punk's intensity with counterpoint, melodic variation, romanticism and emotional depth. (Incidentally, Burning Airlines/ex-Jawbox guitarist J. Robbins produced the album.) And in tracks such as "The New Nathan Detroits," guitarists/singers Bob Nanna and Chris Broach could pass for a duo of J. Robbins and Fugazi's Guy Picciotto. But thanks to those great intangible qualities -- passion and sincerity -- Braid make even the most clearly influenced guitar riff or vocal affectation burn as if it were just being discovered. It takes a lot more than simple emulation to make something this familiar sound this powerful -- and all these years later, Frame and Canvas is still powerful enough to raise the neck hair of anyone who understands.
