It’s All Crazy by mewithoutyou

It took me a while to come around to checking this out. A ton of mixed reviews by Indie Rock Snobs and disgruntled Post Hard Core fans battling it out online. Me being neither just wasn’t in the mood for either musical affair. I love this band, the one and only time I saw them I almost quit playing music. It’s true, they were so tight, so creative, fluid, just reading one another, I never had that in a band, now well into my 30’s I don’t know if I ever will. I have loved all this bands releases thus far, and I knew this was supposed to be a different direction, ect. True this is a mellower album, but the intensity is still there. The desperation in the voice of Aaron Weiss is more present than ever. Lyrically I can only compare it to Return of the Frog Queen from Jeremy Enigk or maybe the Wind In The Willows, or other children’s tales of old. More acoustic based than the other albums, tons of different instrumentation. This album is a bit of an adventure, you can escape with it, you can reflect with it. Truly creative stuff. Glad I came around.
