best cd of 2004 so far March 13, 2004
2 out of 9 found this review helpful
Ok, I know its early in the year, but this cd has the potential to make everyones top 10 list for 2004. Its amazing. ALright, the type of music is kinda like folkly pop indie rock. I'm tryin to think of some bands to compare too, but I'm drawin a blank right now, the lead singer does sound kinda similar to Conner somethingorother from BRIGHT EYES.
Anyways, every song on this cd is good, no wait, AMAZING, seriously folks, I speak the truth. If I had to pick a favorite song, I'd pick 'greetings in braille' but its a close call. Anyways, buy this cd, you won't regret it. And if you do, you can come on over and kick me in the belly.

Yes, that sums it up fine. The Senate (or THE ELECTED I guess, as they're now called) disc is a masterpiece from the guy who used to be on a Nickelodeon show titled Salute Your Shorts. I came across this disc by way of the bassist of the record (Daniel Brummel from OZMA) back in April, and I was very skeptical to the sound at first. Lead singer Blake Sennett (guitarist from Rilo Kiley) takes a turn from the pop rock he's used to performing and made a disc of, well, pop folk. The disc hasn't changed much from when I first recieved it in April, only the track order and band name, and that's a good thing. (While I don't really like the new band name!) The cd was near perfect before, there was no reason to change it. Some new synth sounds have been incorporated into the work, thanks to the producer (didn't he do Bright Eyes?), but other than that it is the same flawless folk rock record I first heard almost a whole year ago. If you like The Allman Brothers, Dire Straits, Neil Young, CSN, or Bob Dylan, give this a try; if Me First had been released in the glory days of those artists, it would today be considered a flawless and classic production.
