notes
The Brilliant Inventions may be the worst band you'll ever hear.
Sure, they have a ton of smart, catchy, rockin' songs that get stuck in your head for days. And okay, yeah--they kick supafuzz harmonies over sophisticated guitar parts, but so what? Who wants to hear something like that??
Some people think that just because Eliot Bronson and Josh Lamkin have both won awards for their songwriting, and both toured as solo acts before forming their little band that The Brilliant Inventions would be... well, brilliant. Well think again.
The Brilliant Inventions don't have one song with vague, pretentious lyrics, zero gratuitous guitar solos, and all their songs are under four minutes long. So what if in one Brilliant Inventions show, you are likely to hear songs about Waffle House waitresses, disaster-prone girlfriends, and the blatant confession, "I wanna see you naked," all woven together with hysterical stage banter and songs of the more poignant and heartbreaking kind. I, for one, want my songwriters to be dark, brooding, and completely unintelligible.
Sure, if what you want are well-crafted songs that are literate, witty, and instantly accessible, The Brilliant Inventions is your band. Whatever. You probably like The Beatles, Ben Folds Five, Fountains of Wayne, and Tom Petty too. Get a life.

great purchase
author: gaspgreat cd, excellent writing, catchy tunes... well done
Truly a Brilliant CD!
author: Alexindra LoxinwoodI first heard these guys at an arts festival in Atlanta and they REALLY stood out from the other groups. Bought their CD and out of a 100+ CD collection it is in my top 5 favorites! The songs are really great...catchy tunes, great pure voices and incredibly intelligent, insightful and at time hysterically funny lyrics! I'm hitting their next show to buy several more of these CDs for Xmas presents. BUY THIS CD! I think these guys are gonna hit the big time.
This CD is incredible
author: LukeThis CD is one of the best you will ever hear. The songs have incredible music and lyrics, from hilariously funny songs about lusting to be an angry lesbian, to sad songs with amazingly well thought out lyrics. Some songs with just guitar and vocals, some with a full band, some new songs, some that have been made even better since the last album, Standing Room, this CD is truly a must-hear. Oh, and it has a really cool album name. Exposure. You gotta love it.
The between gig TBI fix
author: AtlanTexanThe Brilliant Inventions are an awesome band! If you can't see them regularly in concert, you've got to buy this CD. Even if you can watch them in person, this will give you your fix in between shows. I love the mix of new songs as well as those that have be revamped since their appearance on the first awesome CD, Standing Room. You'll listen to this CD over and over again!
