- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -

   "DonÆt you hate it when a band releases an album that you love, and then you
   hear that they are about to release a new album, and you get really excited
   to have some new music to jam to, and then you find out that the band decided
   to change their sound completely?  I do.

   The ScenicÆs new album Bipolaroid has a pretty accurate title.  ItÆs a
   complete 180 from the bandÆs Victory debut Find Yourself Here.  While their
   first record was actually a lovely little album chocked full of catchy
   choruses, interesting lyrics, and well crafted melodies, the bandÆs newest
   effort doesnÆt really have much of anything going for it.  The songs are
   pretty much all very bland and forgettable.
   The first single ôUh Ohö is one of the albumÆs only quality tracks, and even
   this song is skippable.  It starts with a Weezer-esque guitar line, but ends
   up sounding more like Armor For Sleep than anything else as the song hits
   itÆs peak.  ôMagicö sounds like a poor attempt at channeling Nirvana.  IÆm
   not sure what the point behind this record was, but this direction makes no
   sense and even more, itÆs poorly executed.

   Maybe other people will find an interesting quality, where I find a lack of
   inspiration, however the horrendous lyrical content on a song like ôCharts
   and Graphsö, along with incredibly sophomoric melodies throughout songs like
   ôSunday Morningö and ôHolidayö make Bipolaroid incredibly difficult to listen
   to.

   DonÆt misunderstand me.  I loved songs like ôBon Voyage Mr. Bonesö,
   ôArmageddonö and even a ballad like ôTake Your Timeö was incredibly
   interesting and enjoyable to listen to, but it seems like The Scenic lost the
   magic that made Find Yourself Here the album that it was.  Bipolaroid does
   not live up in comparison, and even if you havenÆt heard their first album,
   the songs on Bipolaroid are just not very good."
