The Dismemberment Plan's masterpiece, "Emergency and I" is, first and foremost, a stunningly good pop album. Lazily pidgeon-holed as merely purveyors of progressively-minded eno, the band really represented a sublimely succinct and revolutionary new stream of explosive pop.
"A Life of Possibilities," "You are Invited" and "Back and Forth" all demonstrate the Plan's exquisite musicanship, inventive (sometimes even to their detriment) production and witty, urbane, wonderfully delivered lyrics.
This is the best album of a great band. Recommended to anyone who considers themselves a fan of any kind of music.
Pop at its best.

Once in a blue moon, a record comes along that simply smashes any expectations you've had for that genre, "Emergency & I" is one those. The Dismemberment's Plan sound is unique in every sense of the word. Swerving and scything rhythms are splattered with resonating guitar that reverberates under Travis Morrison's enthusiastic and clever delivery. Lyrically, "Emergency & I" is near perfect; "Spider in the Snow" drips with post collegiate melancholy whereas "8 ½ Minutes" screeches with the raging moral confusion of apocalyptic circumstances. Still completely revolutionary six years on, "Emergency & I" defies belief, its ingenuity only surpassed by its lethal hooks ("Gyroscope") and mind numbingly catchy chorus's ("You Are Invited"). Most of all and probably most importantly, "Emergency & I" is the past, present and still the future of Indie Rock; what more do you want me to say?

I loved this CD. Washington DC's finest third album boasts some of the best songs to come out of the post hardcore movement to date. From the strange lo-fi hum of 'You are invited' to the blistering love song 'What do you want me to say' the band show they have class and a breadth to their music that takes them outside of the narrow pigeon hole of the Emo genre. Stand out track 'The City' is quite simply beautiful.
