Discovering this band was one of the funnest experiences in my musical life. I remember sitting in the smoking room at Oarfin Records one night, sifting through a music magazine (probably EQ or Mix). There was a review of this album and it described a record that I knew I needed to hear. I went out and got it the next day and probably played it 2 weeks straight. I couldn't believe how awesome the songs were and how killer the musicians were. The vocal styling was right up my alley and the songs were nice and long. I couldn't get enough of TMV and I geeked out to them over the next 3 years.
Listening to this record brings back some of those memories and feelings but the love affair with the band fizzled out years ago. I had a hard time focusing on this whole record and I think it's one of their most interesting and captivating. Towards the end, it's a lot of wankery and I found myself anticipating the end of the record. It's all still great music. It just isn't my thing anymore.
