CD ReviewsDreamy, trippy William Merrill | San Antonio, TX United States | 08/19/2009 (4 out of 5 stars) "As Tall As Lions' album called You Can't Take It With You is an unusual collection of songs, defying easy categorization. The overall vibe is an atmospheric melange of prog-rock, jazz, funk and bits of other styles. There are a lot of gentle, unobtrusive moments such as the swirl of synths, bass and muted trumpet and that opens the fifth track, "Duermete." After the intro, guitars gradually enter and then drums. The slow build of the song is vaguely reminiscent of Sigur Ros' music, a comparison strengthened by some of the lead vocalists' penchant for falsetto singing. (They alternate lead vocals on different songs.) ATAL also frequently use a lush harmonic mesh of backing vocals, though, something that makes their sound more distinctive. Along with the melodies, I like the ambient interludes such as an electronic meditation that closes out "Lost My Mind" and the quiet yet cathedral-big instrumental segment that segues into "In Case Of Rapture," a big contrast since "Rapture" turns out to be the album's most rockin' cut. Actually, I shouldn't give the impression that the CD is all atmospherics, as the band does lay down some heavier sounds elsewhere too, as on "Is This Tomorrow?" But ultimately it's the softer passages I found most memorable, especially the songs "Sleepyhead" and "Lost My Mind." The latter tune is especially haunting, as with PJ Harvey or Thom Yorke in their more introspective moods." Fantastic S. Gleason | 04/11/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "ATAL's new album, "You Can't Take it with You" is a phenomenal album. Their sound has evolved so much since "Into the Flood". The use of wind instruments has increased my love for them; the trumpet being my favorite. The vocal melodies never cease to impress. ATAL has a unique signature to their music, its a very rare genre to find in the southwest, so it's definitely one of my favorite bands. These guys are great. I suggest seeing them live as well, because nothing beats live performances."
