Customer Reviews
I love FLO
Though I like other versions of some of these songs (I don't know where to find them), this band is probably my second favorite to Dashboard Confessional. Gravy Fries and Dirty Lollipops has been the number 1 song on my Top 25 for years. I also love Enough About Me, Telephone Wires, Best of Both Worlds, Keep Me Company, and Without Regret. Check it out!
Impeccable acoustic emo
Feeling Left Out is a band I followed all the way through high school, downloading each of their EPs as they came out. Stumbling across this record, I was elated to see that they have collected all of those old EPs into one full-length album.
It should be said, right out the gate, that Feeling Left Out plays a very particular type of music. It's by-the-books acoustic emo, to be sure, very much in the mold of Dashboard Confessional or early Spill Canvas. No one will ever accuse this record of being groundbreaking, or genre-defying. But for my money, I would definitely accuse it of belonging at the top of the sad-acoustic heap. There were likely a million other bands doing this in the early 2000s, but few were doing it this well. And let's face it -- if you aren't the type that goes in for emotion-baring acoustical singalongs, you probably never made it past the band name (or album title) in the first place.
The Dashboard-type genre conventions are there -- acoustic guitars, high tenor vocals, and lyrics so soul-baring as to be almost uncomfortable at times. But what stands out about this record is the talent brought to these well-worn attributes. The lyrics range from merely good to sometimes brilliant, especially on some of the newer songs. "Enough About Me" is a hilariously dead-on treatment of the emotional highs and lows of online messaging, and "Unspoken Word" is a heart-wrenching and eloquent letter to an unborn child. "Gravy Fries and Dirty Lollipops" wins the prize for best song conceit -- it's a letter written to one of the band members by an almost-flame, set to music to create a poignant song of chances missed. The guitar, too, is flawless -- breaking out at times from the standard strumming-pattern of acoustic emo to deliver stunning fills and arpeggios. Far more effort is put into the six-string work on this record than was probably expected or necessary for this style, and I applaud them for it.
All things equal, there are few bands nailing the heart-on-sleeve aesthetic this admirably. I can't imagine high school without these songs, and while I'm older and wiser now than when I discovered this band, I can still think of very few CDs I would recommend more highly to any lovesick teenager out there -- or anyone who remembers what it was like to be one.
Totally cool.
This is some really good music, and some nice lyrics and vocals, but the songs can get a little repedative after a while. "Keep Me Company", "Enough About Me", "Unspoken Word", and "Telephone Wires" are the highlight of this record. Props to FLO.
