I bought this as an LP for 2 reasons. The cover looked like a 4AD album so much I had to turn it around to see what label it was on. When I did check the back I saw the first track "Johnny On The Spot". I loved 4AD artists and similar artists, and I collected Johnny songs (there are more than one would think). So I bought the LP and although it didn't sound anything like a 4AD band the album did get regular play for about 6 months.
Someone recently told me this was emo. It doesn't sound like the crap that I'm subjected to at the bar I work at, but maybe this is emo if emo was good. Anyway, it sounds good to me if it is emo or not.
