It’s an EP. The first track is “Briar-Rose” and sounds like a Coldplay knockoff. The liner notes are reversible (you’ll understand when you buy it), which is kind of neat.
The important thing is that this band is from Iowa. I think The Nadas are from out there. I like The Nadas better, but The Envy Corps are fine, too. It’s just a tough act to follow is all.
“Screen Test” sounds like a slightly controlled Flaming Lips song. It is somewhat forgettable. “The Cursing Choir” has a better name and pleasing vocals. If Paul Simon were 40 years younger, he’d be doing this kind of shit.
The title track is the best, which isn’t a big shock, but that it’s fourth out of five on the track listing is unusual. Don’t be fooled by this. This offering has the best accompaniment of any track and sounds like Man of the Year.
“The Dissenter” winds things up and takes seven minutes to do so. Well, not really. There’s a hidden track at the end. I guess this is for Nickelback or The Fray fans. It kind of sounds like “Crash” by Dave Matthews Band.
