    My favorite album from them, hands down. Can't go wrong with Painted By Numbers, Queen of Apology, Hurt You, and Ego.

    Easily one of the catchiest albums from the 2000's decade.

    This is not the usual album I'd find myself enjoying. I find the harmony of the album refreshing. Not the kind of melody I'm used to hearing everyday. But I guess that's why I love it. This is... more

Description

The Sounds' 2003 debut, "Living In America" firmly established the band as one to watch. Their second release is an even stronger fusion of their punk attitude and pop savvy. Honed by a sonic brain trust that includes producer Jeff Saltzman (who helmed The Killers' "Hot Fuss"), with additional production from Scratchie Records co-owners James Iha (Smashing Pumpkins, A Perfect Circle) and Adam Schlesinger (Fountains Of Wayne, Ivy), and mixer Paul Q. Kolderie (Radiohead, Pixies, Hole), the album presents a diversified and deeper version of the sound they established on their debut. It also showcases their growth and captures the attitude that has won over crowd after crowd. Limited first pressing with bonus remixes and video content.It all starts with a cowbell, so at least you know it's not going to suck. This is important because, at times, the Sounds' 2003 debut, Living in America felt like a third-generation copy of Blondie's Eat to the Beat and a third-generation of anything usually sucks. But this follow-up shows improvement all around. Singer Maja Ivarsson is starting to find her own voice and the group's melodies now owe less to playground chants than actual verses and choruses. Meanwhile producer Jeff Saltzman, the man behind the Killers' blockbuster Hot Fuss, has given the band's, er, sound some much needed low end. You could accuse them of still sounding a bit contrived (just one word describes the track "Ego"--yikes!) but with thrilling New Wave throwbacks such as "Tony the Beat" and "Running Out of Turbo" pumping on the stereo you might be having too much fun to bother. --Aidin Vaziri
