CD ReviewsAt the drive in early times' BEST ALBUM AMBULE | COSTA RICA | 06/28/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "You might know ATDI from their last studio album relationship of command or for bieng the mars volta's and sparta's roots, but if you dont know this album you're missing a great era on Omar Rodriguez and Cedric Bixler's musical ride, this is how it all began, 5 guys from latin america and United States met at El Paso, TX and recorded this garage gem, which goes... 1. Star Slight: it takes you away from reality and lets you in ATDI's dimenssion 2. Schaffino: great guitars intro and lyrics...TO BE ALIVE!!! 3. Ebroglio: a tribute to Julio Venegas that makes you admire him without even having known him...BUT NOTHING REALLY MATTERS!! 4. Initiation: amazing melody, great song to sing along and yell your lungs out 5. Communication Drive-In: listen at it a few times and you'll get it 6. Skips on the record: great composing, not just another punk band 7. Paid Vacation Time: great vocals n lyrics...A TANK FULL OF FUEL 8. Ticklish: best song on the album, a preview of In/Casino/Out and Relationship of Command 9. Blue Tag: strange but great...like Omar and Cedric, reminds me of 70's shows and movies 10. Coating of arms: loud, disorganized, mess, good...punk 11. Porfirio Diaz: Punk-Rock, Flamenco and melody...what else can you ask for?" Depending.. J. Marshall | M-ville, WA | 10/22/2005 (3 out of 5 stars) "There are many merits to the [De Facto]At The Drive-In/TMV/Sparta legacy, and if you are reading this review, you know the history. You know the sounds. Acrobatic Tenament is quite a nice look into not just Omar and Cedric's musical past, but the whole bands'. At points of the cd, I didn't exactly like the music, but that is the trial of musically growing. The sounds that this band has been putting out on this album could be described as punk, yet there are undertones of deep messages and phrasing in a punk-ridden era of music. So, in closing, (without being too much of an over-analyst) I would suggest this album to those who love raw, loud, and unrefined sound that these bands have created (i.e Vaya E.P, Sparta (new and old), Tremulent E.P, ect.). good band." Funtastic CD Joe Schmo | PA | 02/13/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "I am sad to say that I didnt discover At the Drive In until about a year ago. After hearing their single One Armed Scissor, I fell in love with the band and their great energy and went out and bought all their CDs, but I went backwards starting with Relationship of Command. Acrobatic Tenement is very different from their other 2 CDs. It has a very underproduced, raw, emotional sound that I love. This CD has a fun, fast-paced, make you wanna sing and dance feeling to it, and it starts off right away with Starslight, a quick warmer-upper. My favorite song from this album is Ticklish, Cedric's voice is just so mesmorizing. It amazes me how Omar and Cedric went from this sound to the sound and styles of The Mars Volta, my other favorite band that I cant stop listening to. Its too bad ATDI broke up because I would have loved to see their amazing live shows Ive heard about, but at least Cedric and Omar still decided to create amazing music in the form of TMV."
