"This is a 2000 release from an American band, not to be confused with Glasgow's Camera Obscura whose Underachievers Please Try Harder was released on Elefant in the UK and Merge in the US. Just an FYI. (Don't vest too much in my star rating, it has to be filled out to post a review on amazon, and I didn't want to dis a band I'm not familar with)."
No time to breath.

"Wow, these are the first words that come to my mind when I think about this record, it's amazing. I've been obsesivly listening to this for about a week straight whenever I go out of my house. See I like to listen to music when I'm walking to class and I can make it to the library by the time the first song ends! Anyways this is great music... man is it lovely. Layered to the point of damnation and well thought out and intelligently sung lyrics. The keyboards are great! I don't think every band should use keyboards, but with these guys... man the keyboard is just as if it is the back bone strutting down their flesh and keeping them erect and walking on this green planet. Then it's as if a metamorphisis is occuring in the music, as the planescape of sound just collides and chrashes into the sky a change takes place and you are delivered into a new and exciting plane of musical exploration. The guitars jive, jam and mesh and there is something to be said about the lyrics and the singing. Fave track? Probably the first one or Cinemateque."
