are the latest additions to my collection. Pinback sounds great from first listen & im sure NP will grow, was expecting bit of a challenging listen with that one. all in all, pretty happy :D

anyone have any thoughts on either of these?

    After a few listens, I think Pinback is a good cd, but has only two great songs, How We Breathe and From Nothing to Nowhere.

    yeah, had another listen last night & it seems...dare i say....matured? maybe just the production or something. there's certainly no prog, syracuse or fortress but there's other things in there that i wouldn't expect from pinback that'll keep me coming back to it. some of the songs have a real epic quality to them, and their use of multi-layered vocals is, as always, outstanding. maybe not quite as funky in places, close to rocky in others, but in any case a very enjoyable album. time is the only indicator though :)

    I agree with Bremerton. It's definately a pinback cd...a good one...but the other albums are great. I'm sure this cd with be playing in my car for a good while though. the bonus cd is cool too

    Sweet!

    I'm going catch the in store in Hollywood tonight. I'll have to pick up my copy and get it signed. Haven't heard it yet but I can't imagine being dissapointed with a new Pinback record
