Trance punk (or post-punk, whatever you want to call it...) at its best!

it's a good album but there are some realllly shitty songs on there. ugh, the one with the beatles and the stones, my god.

C'mon, "Hatchet" is amusing, and it's a necessary break between the jeremiads. "In Silence" is the album's weak point for me - it's much better live, and it doesn't translate as well to disc. Everything else is gold, though - "Breaker," "Always Fade," and "Dust on the Window" in particular. But really, everything.

Tegan & Sara - The Con

See, I can't tell if I like the album or their cute lesbian look. My other cute lesbian crush plays the guitar on "Floorplan" so it ends up being a cute lesbian triple crush of inescapable proportions.

This album is straight-up shimmering shoegaze; their black metal leanings are over on the Aux Funérailles du Monde/Tristesse Hivernale split they released with Angmar.

To deny the blatant black metal influence and presence in this album would be foolish. Not to mention, that split album was technically released after Souvenirs.
