Spinto Band... Entertainment Weekly?!

[Professor S]

Germy, just to let you know I've been listening to the record all day, and I'm loving it. The fact that you sampled sounds from a game of Pong is reason enough to love it, but you even have KAZOOS. And who doesn't love a good kazoo? NO ONE.

I will admit that Trust vs. Mistrust and Spy vs. Spy seemed a little like The Strokes. They were still good but I didn't like them as much as the rest of the album. Your lead singer has an impressive range, though, going from high pitched, angst ridden vocals to almost Lou Reed like monotones. It almost sounds as if its not the same person from song to song (and if its not the same lead singer, I feel like a complete IDIOT right now). Its nice to see a group vary their sound so much from song to song.

So far my favorites are Brown Boxes, Oh Mandy, Direct to Helmet, Mountains and Japan is an Island.
