I kept waiting for the Pissed Jeans album to pick up. Eventually, I felt like a schmuck, like I've been waiting for a friend and got stood up and I was embaressed to be seen.

Most of this album just sounds like Nirvana's first album, Bleach in its raw feeling only without the hooks of Nirvana.

"A Bad Wind" started sounding like it had more of Bleach's hooks but as it seems with all of Pissed Jeans' songs, there's really nothing breaking up the whole song. This one sticks out more than the others because the begining sound that IS the whole sound of each song was a bit better than the others.

My favorite song on the album is "I've Still Got You (Ice Cream)" not because it sounds better or even worse than the other songs, just because it's absolutely retarded. "I shouldn't eat it...but sometimes I want it...I gotta have it...with whipped cream on it"? A lot of bands have somewhat 'silly' songs, but this one I'm not too certain if Pissed Jeans is serious here or not. Is this supposed to be a funny love song to ice cream or are they pissed they bought ice cream for someone who turned out to suck? I love the end line "I I I I I I ....I've still got you, choclate."

Another fun one is "Scrapbooking" where the opening lines are "I bought a pair of special scissors to cut out a nice design," because thats the makings of a great serious song that will really move me right there. A piano starts kicking in which makes me think Pissed Jeans is honestly serious in all this. It somewhat reminds me of Marilyn Manson's album Portrait of an American Family although I feel like he sounded like he didn't take himself as seriously as Pissed Jeans.

I quickly got bored of this album and really hoped my room mates wouldn't come in while I was listening to it because I felt kind of ashamed, almost like I'd be caught masturbating. I got the impression maybe I was too harsh on Pissed Jeans and that if I were less sober, I would maybe almost enjoy this. If you are going to give Pissed Jeans a chance, the drug of choice I would recommend would be pot. You won't remember that the whole song sounds repetitive and you might find the lyircs witty even. Spend the bulk of your money on the pot though and don't buy this album.
