Album Review
Singer-guitarist-songwriter Josh Verbanets tries to take his noise-pop band the You away from noise and closer to pop for most of the Pittsburgh group's debut disc, some of which was produced by Brian Deck (Modest Mouse, Iron & Wine). Deck's influence from those clients comes through heavily on this record, particularly on "Bad Person," a track very similar to Modest Mouse's "The World at Large" from Good News for People Who Love Bad News. The results are sometimes pleasant, as with the bells in the arrangement of "Horse Opera," but just as often drained of passion, Verbanets becoming a milquetoasty Ray Davies clipped-diction observer of the action. Indeed, For the Masses has a strong early-Kinks feel to it, especially on the jaunty highlights "End of an Era," "Broken Down Storefront," and "Thrown from a Moving Vehicle," but it doesn't rock convincingly when it rocks, and though nothing's off-putting, nothing's terribly memorable.
Recent Customer Reviews
The Kinks would be proud
by johsteeleThis is an excellent record from a band that has potential to hang around for a while. There is not an influence out of place here, ranging from the Kinks (it cannot be denied) to Belle and Sebastian. And the songwriting is just excellent with country touches filling in the gaps, happy vocal accents and just a tinge of melancholy. But if you get a chance to see them live, you shouldn't pass it up. The raw fury of songs like Bait and Switch unfortunately don't come across nearly as well on record. These guys rule. You will be humming these choruses for weeks.
Awesome Label Debute~
by Nemo-loverI've been following these guys from the beginning and I couldnt be more happier that they are finally makin it to the mainstream! A great buy from a great band!
