Great CD...better band

"This band was awesome! Too bad they got the shaft from their record company. Their lable never pushed the album so the band never made it. I saw this band at the CD release party for another great Dallas Band called 'Spot' in 1995 or so. They rocked! I waited for months for the CD, when I got it, it was good, although it really failed to capture how awesome the band was live. The CD lacked the same energy, but was still very good. Best way to describe it is Alternative Rock with a heavy emo influence...but NOT emo. If you, like me, think that 1995-96 were the best years for music especially in Dallas, you will love Tablet....but if you like all the crap called 'Alternative' today, sorry, this CD is way to unique and creative for you and sounds nothing like Coldplay or Creed."

Haunting lyrics coupled with unique-creative arrangements.

"A virtually unknown band from Dallas that could have obtained national popularity had more poeple been given the chance to hear them. "Cancelled" is a very catchy track that fuses a popular "80's" sound with a "90's" attitude. One listen to "Cancelled" and you realize the potential of this band. The rest of the album is quite daunting and filled with depressing topics. But the music takes center stage. Each is unique in it's musical arrangemnts. "When I die" although depressing in content, is overtaken by its floating magical rythms. "Methadone" who's content is obvious in nature is another gem for this band. Although "grungy" in nature, you will hear sounds and arrangements unlike any you've heard from pop bands of the 90's. If remotely interested in a unique, unidscovered sound, then Tablet's "Pinned" is a must buy."
