Next up Cymbals Eat Guitars - "Jackson". Number 95
This is the first song on the list I’m giving a positive grade to. For those who don’t check the tags on blog posts, my grades for each review are in the tags. A song can be tagged as -,~, or +. A bad review gets a -, a mixed or neutral review gets a ~ and a positive review gets a +.
This song reminds me a little of early Weezer (“Only in Dreams” era). It’s a little darker and has more of a punk note. The punk note comes through mostly in the vocal intonation of the singer (the song has >3 chords) and in the somewhat grim and blighted portrait of life it paints. There are a lot of nice bits to the song, good mini build ups.
Check this one out.
