You got me
author: Dana Reinhart
so after hearing 'who said i was running?' i've been hooked on your stuff
moving backwards is just amaing
there was one thing i didn't like about it though and that is that it doesn't sound exactly right when listening to it all the way through
all the songs are very good but there are too many stylistic differences to make the album listen as good as it could be
some of the songs on here are so sad i cry when i listen to them
that is a compliment by the way most music cannot make me do that
the best track on the album is 'moving backwards'

Top drawer
author: Russell Barker
A.Rex are a band from Austin, Texas populated entirely by Andrews. The band that is, not Austin. This is their second album.
A cracker it is too. While there's the odd MOR moment (the title track and 'Old Enough'), the rest is top drawer. It kicks off with the Grandaddy/eels style weariness and vocals through a broken radio of 'Determined', with it's defeated lyrics of "what's the point in starting, if it's just gonna end".
Following that we get a leaden piano to give us a tale of how he can't live without the girl ('Hold My Hand'), then Mary Chain fuzzy guitar coupled with a maudlin Death Cab quality of 'I'm Not The Only One'. 'Lower Than Low' is a lovely piano ballad, just like Coldplay used to make before they blanded out. 'Rock n Roll' is delightful Pavement style slacker pop and there are great melodies in the warm country-ish 'So Hard'.
