Hit: 5 Stars
Sure they've toured with Dashboard Confessional, but just because they were on the same bill doesn't necessarily mean they fall into the same genre.
I bought this cd after hearing the driven break up track "Everything I Once Had". There are a few other songs like this on the cd, "Revealing Too Much" and "Points Underneath" come to mind off the top of my head. These songs will totally get under your skin and remain in your head long after you've listened to them. Some of the more upbeat songs kind of remind me of a fusion between Hot Hot Heat, The Strokes, and Our Lady Peace. But make no mistake, on a whole THT have created a vibe all their own. Although, having said to be influenced by Jeff Buckley, you can't help but notice soaring vocal similarities in tracks like "Disengage". Jarrod Gorbel has this unique voice, sometimes it's warbly & sometimes he's screaming at the top of his lungs... not to be confused with "screamo" music though, because it's not like that. Just really intense and passionate vocals that ultimately draw you in and make you keep listening. When I listen to his voice & combine it with the lyrical content, I picture urban New York streets...tall old buildings with people out on the stoops, a deserted subway car late at night...ETC. The band is from Brooklyn and Gorbel's style depicts that appropriately so.
THT make great creative music quite simplistically really. The music itself is not too complex, but what they do with it is anything but forgettable.
This debut is beyond impressive. The songs are poignant without being too introspective, edgy without being over the top, and catchy without being irritating. I'd say it's pretty excellent from start to finish.
Anyone willing to try something different will not regret checking this out. It has quickly become one of my favorites.
EDIT 5/28/06 --- Had this CD for several months now and it is still something I want to hear nearly every other day.
