3. The Airborne Toxic Event

The Airborne Toxic Event The Airborne Toxic Event by The Airborne Toxic Event
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I like this album and the tunes are catchy enough. I would say that musically, the best tracks are "Wishing Well", "Does This Mean You're Moving On?", and "Sometime Around Midnight." What's lacking, if anything, is lyrical depth. That said, nonetheless, hipster kids will love this album.

Taking a look at Pitchfork's rating, they pretty much trashed it (those elitist music fascists), which doesn't make sense to me, seeing how much trashier music can get. There are actually some really lovely moments on this album that I wouldn't underestimate.

1. Wishing Well
2. Papillon
3. Gasoline
4. Happiness Is Overrated
5. Does This Mean You're Moving On?
6. This is Nowhere
7. Sometime Around Midnight
8. Something New
