your first line is great, im kind of surprised at the score though. cheers.

This is a Russ-size review :P

I wish Piebald wouldn't put out these average releases they have done recently. They lost steam after the "American Heart" (UHOH am I allowed to say that on this site? haha) era and haven't been able to put out anything catchy since. I agree with this review and it's actually hard to write anything lengthy about a review that just doesn't grab you too much in any way.

Piebald is about putting out records that they like regardless of what people think. That's what I love about them. The fact that the record isn't "polished" makes it that much more true to who they are. And that you say the "mildly irritating thing" is that they recorded on analog tape is hilarious! If they wanted everyone to like them they would put out a mediocre record every year. But, they don't! They put out records when they want. That too me is the calling card of valid, respected artists like Piebald.

A little surprised at the score, but I know the score doesn't always reflect the reviewer's feelings to their fullest.

With that said, I highly enjoy Piebald, and love their sound on each album they have released. I especially like the organic sound they have production-wise, which is ironic, considering what the band does with an environmentally-conscious mindset.

nature wins is pretty awesome.
honestly, i wasn't wow-ed by the album but i do like it because i do love piebald.

I need to pick this up.

I don't have to comment for you to know what I'm thinking Tony.

And I said at the end, if you like them, you will probably dig it, but people that don't/haven't heard them may not be impressed enough to give it a chance.

I like the album; I just feel like it could grab me more. It's good background music and there's a couple of songs I repeat more often, but it isn't as awesome as the lyrics/songwriting might suggest (in my opinion).

it's piebald.
i love it.

they will never top the anthem that We Are th Only Friends That We Have gave out.
just like how HRC will never top Sorry About Tomorrow.

but i love the band, so i will continue to support.
i think the album is very laid back, just like all ears all eyes all the time, but just a little more laid back.
i enjoy it, but i do agree, if this was the first record i ever heard by them, i wouldn't be all that impressed, but i would probably still buy the album due to the difference in the style of music they put out compared to a lot of other bands.

Great review Tony, I felt the same way when I heard this. Short and to the point.

saying piebald isnt good is like saying pete wentz isnt dreamy.
