09.2004 // album of the month

from unknown and inside the plastic wrap...this is greg's selection artist // the paper chase album // god bless your black heart discovery // cd-world listening station comments // this underground dallas band has an interesting blend of sounds. perhaps it is best described as disjointed experimental indie rock. sonicly adventurous and bold, this album is conceptually more than the mtv crowd can handle. lyrically there appears to be some real depth, though the vocals are an acquired taste and might make those lyrics less accessible. only time will tell. initial ranking // 7.5 final ranking // 8 final comments // the disjointed nature of the album is what i love. it is so abrasively different from your usual musical fare that i can't help but like it. lyrically it lacks maturity, but i am not yet sure if this is purposely done or not. http://www.thepaperchaseband.com/
