| EDITOR'S PICK :: Usually splits have a good song or two by both bands if they're lucky, in this case they're the grand prize winners and have 9 great songs by the two bands combined. How many tracks are there then you ask? Nine. Yes that's right every song on this split is a gem and worth the money for the CD by itself. You almost want to call up the record label and say "I'm sorry but you're going to have to charge me more for that I was only really paying for a couple good songs I didn't know I'd get more than my money's worth". But don't worry I don't think The Losing Blueprint will be changing the prices anytime soon. And fortunately for the music fans out there it's not like this album is some sort of connoisseur's pick: there truly are songs that most everyone would be happy to hear. Words for Snow are kind of like math rock with a sense for pop's inabilities and lacks while finding its appeal and putting that to good use. Tristan da Cunha puts together a few live songs and shows that they can do what they do in the studio live just as well if not a bit better. Great set of music for cheap! - J-Sin |
