Customer Reviews

Not bad.

These songs are actually pretty good. Especially, No Time. For some reason it reminds me of the early start of a new MGMT.

Kind of Nuetral Milk Hotel-ish...and by that I mean it's awesome.

impressive

being that I am only a recent Jay Reatard listener/fan, I would say that these two songs are different from his generally more vibrant post-punk style (though it's hard to characterize his work, those are just some vaguely descriptive adjectives), but I think it works well for him. Lyrically, he is always simplistically innovative, and "No Time" in particular is very intriguing ("It seems I never have the time to make my mind feel fine/Just locked inside this brass box looking out the window for you). His lyrics are always relatable to me, which is probably why he appeals to me. "You Were Sleeping" is equally beautiful, and I feel that both songs are beautiful expressions hinting topically at unrequited affection and internal struggle. Major props to Jay, he's the s**t.
