Dismemberment Plan - Emergency & I

AllMusic.com description:

The band's third full album is a firecracker, showing their at oncepassionate and sly approach to music -- take in everything, put it backout, and give it its own particular sheen and spin -- is in no dangerof letting up. Knowing fans of the quartet have spoken on how it'sclear that the bandmembers listen to everything from old soul tohip-hop and techno and back again, and there's no argument here basedon the evidence of this disc. Travis Morrison'sunusual vocals make a brilliant calling card for the band, high, atouch quavery, but never out of control, slipping into the mix likeanother instrument. Though the comparisons to fellow D.C. musicalfigure Craig Wedren are understandable, Morrison'svoice isn't as piercing, with a warm, light undertow that's quiteaffecting. When he hits his best moments, like the downright anthemicbut never breast-beating "What Do You Want Me to Say?," it's a wondermore people aren't talking about the guy. The rest of the band turn theindie rock stereotype on its head, avoiding aimless shambling jangle oremo's straightjacketing stereotype in favor of an unsettled mix thatembraces sampling's jump-cut techniques and shifting rhythms whereprominence is equally given to guitar, keyboards, and beat. It can belate-night jazzy mood-out or sudden thrash, but the quartet handles allapproaches with aplomb and creative arrangements to boot. Drummer Joe Easley may be the band's secret weapon, able to keep the pace and swing just enough, though bassist Eric Axelsonis by no means a slouch himself -- the dub-touched "Spider in the Snow"is a great showcase for both. The fact that "You Are Invited" isconceivably the world's greatest synth-pop/electro/guitarchime/post-punk song about trying to get to the right party -- and isemotional without being overwrought -- gives a sense as to this album'sconsiderable strengths.
