Personally I loved it, it really is like an injection of indie rock type stuff into At The Drive-In's post hardcore sound. It's got a nice balance of heavier and softer songs too. You want?

By the way, I guess I never mentioned this in here, but if anyone wants anything that I post about just ask.

Oh, and this is the ****.

Glide and Swerve - Bring Back Love

The song is And I Smile. This is one of my favorite releases of the year, it's a lot like Thievery Corporation but maybe a bit more hip hop at times and a bit more ambient. I think it's ambient trip hop actually. It's made to listen to in one sitting as well; it's like they put a simple ambient break in between each song and then randomly chose a spot in it to end one track and have the next one start. That's not to say you can't tell the tracks apart, but it could be one big long flowing song with various sections as much as an 11 song album. In fact, I just found out this band started in Hong Kong and decided to create music to do themed club nights for the masses, which explains why this album plays like a downtempo DJ mix. Do yourself a favor, especially if you like ambient, dub, or trip-hop, and check this out.
