Album Review
On their sixth studio album, the California ska-rockers have stripped down their sound, excising a few horns here and there, but retaining the buoyant feel of their previous work. And while the blue beat emerges on almost every track, the songs explode far beyond the simple upstroke-upstroke aesthetic. "Hope Is a Butterfly, No Net Its Captor, She Beats Her Wings and Softly Sings of Summer Scent and Children's Laughter (Virus of Silence)" is as multifaceted a musical suite as the name suggests, reeling from proggy bombast to concise, pop-punk emoting to snaky reggae. "Bring Our Children Home or Everything Is Nothing" is a similarly complex vortex of sound that meshes galloping punk with Latin rhythms, driven by the prodigious drumming of Chris Tsagakis. The exploratory writing hits more than misses, on a set of songs that shiver with wit and moxie.

by gum they did it again
by heimbachaeI had a time looking for this cd. the week it was released it actually wasn't on iTunes and I had to search around and only 1 out if 5 local best buys had 3 copies left. I knew it was worth the trek and I was right. this band progresses so much with each new album and listening to them makes me appreciate the fact that there are good artists still left in this world. cheers!
Good dudes making perfect music!
by DJ One NationIf you say your a person that listens to all kinds of music proove it. Buy this album. The Bizzels have been making music light years ahead of %99 of the bands out there, but this is old hat for the guys, they have been doing this for years. Bottom line if you wanna listen to not only catchy but intelligent and relevent music, buy this album and then start collecting the rest of them. Not bad for a band that like old blue eyes himsef have, done it their way. Congrats guys!! This album is once again mind blowing!!!
true musicianship
by rchung89This album can fool you at first with chorus-verse-chorus structure and more predictability than previous albums. prepare to be proven wrong. i dare anyone to listen to this album 5 times through and not realize how amazing this album really is:
crazy polyrhythms (check out "bled to be free" or "breakfast cat"), fresh vocals (embree's doing a little experimenting in this album), awesome solos, complex yet catchy songs, and a line up of tunes that all differentiate from each other, but mesh sooooo well.
in other words...buy it.
support the bands like these that are putting out real music.
