 From a skeptic: SWEET August 24, 2008
Written by jacethecrowl
I was little weary of the song list here, like a warmed-over double trio set, but I was hooked from TCOL. I never thought I’d say that, because this song has always left me completely cold. But the rhythm section here brings some much needed meat to it. I can’t wait to hear what this band can do with looser, more expansive songs like Frying Pan and Oyster Soup. TLev: thank you for bring a groove back to One Time! This song has been vanishing into the ether for years. Trey is great, but I don’t think he’s got a funky bone in his body. I love letting the drummers have some with Neurotica and Level Five. These arrangements may not stick, but shows that the material is being approached with a fresh ear, and the fact that TCOL finally clicked with me shows how much time some of the repertoire needs to develop. The only slightly sluggish thing here is Dinosaur, everyone just sounds a bit tired. But things come to a smashing conclusion with a no-frills Indiscipline -- to these ears the best live version. In short, this is an encouraging document of an exciting young band. I hope there will be more.
