DBS: the college years

"Before Breakfast at Tiffany's was released to a world starved for music that didn't sound like Nirvana, Deep Blue Something was a college band in Texas. This is their college album. As such, it is not poppy, it is not happy. Often wistful and reflective about the strangeness of the college experience, the lyrics range from cerebral to nonsense and back. Musically, the album is under-produced, but don't let that stop you. If you can get past the guitars that actually sound like a guitar might sound if you were to pick one up, the chords are silly, and the solos are melodramatic, but in the best ways. This is DBS playing in a band because they were having fun. Overall, a much more complex album than Home, and far more cohesive than Byzantium. Worth picking up!"
11th song is their best song played live.

"I love this CD. One of my all time favorites. Always seems to find my CD player on road trips to D-town. Only wish the band would re-record the untitled 11th song as they perform it live."
