Cymbals Eat Guitars "Lenses Alien"

There is so many little details that make up sweet dreams, like the deeper chords, the distortion, higher notes, piano, traveling between heaven and earth, mood and groove changes, yelled vocals (at times), and a good deal of influences give me "Rifle Eyesight (Proper Name)" and a bad headache. The boys have earned "Shore Points" for the sunny harmonies (they're no beach boys, but I digress), upbeat tempo, and for reminding me of Polaris for some reason; who sang the theme song to one of my favorite 90's shows (The Adventures of Pete and Pete). I feel that if they ever tour around here I hope they don't "Keep Me Waiting" too long because I wouldn't mind seeing them live. You often do not expect to be cuffed by your dealer, and are surprised by getting caught, because it's something you don't expect. Well, this song must be wearing its own "Plainclothes" because you're led into it with a false sense of security.                                                     There is a "Definite Darkness" that had inspired the lyrics of this song; maybe due to the H.I.V. dreams, and "panicked screams" from some random guy in the night, but that's only a tip of the iceberg. The next song recalls a certain explosion in 1927, but the mellow tone may have you forget; "Remember you and I would get so high/we'd pass out with our shoes on." Maybe it is just his mind that he is referring to, or mine, on this next track. I am carried away by "The Current" that this awesome rhythm produces, and the emotions that are felt; I see images of surfers, and huge tidals throwing me around like a rag doll. In the end, I hit my head on a rock, drowned, and am finally free of life's malignancies; we must not be on the same "Wavelengths."
