"It's my opinion that Headstones is Grant Lee Buffalo's successor. I have thought about it for a while, and the closest sounding to Headstones I found is Grant Lee Buffalo. That's not a bad thing... well maybe it's bad if you didn't like Grant Lee Buffalo. I think it's nice. And I think it's sad, too. It's nice because Headstones can rock big time when they want to. It's sad at the same time because they didn't manage to rock all over Nickels for Your Nightmares.The first 2 song, Downtown and Pinned You Down, are probably the hardest ones (with the exception maybe of F*** You). Settle, the first single, is a slower rock song reminiscent of Grant Lee Buffalo's Jubilee. Then there's Above Ground Swimming Pools, my favorite song on the album. It has a nice melody and shows what the lead singer is capable of. I mentionned it earlier, my second favorite song here, F*** You ! This is the song you want someone you don't like to listen to : "F*** you ! F*** you ! I will get over you !" It worked for me ;) !The rest of the songs are average rock songs (I sometimes detect a little southern influence), they aren't groundbreaking but they work. I recommand a listen before buying. Headstones' is a nice band but they're not for everyone."
