Product Description
Description
SOMETHING TO WRITE HOME ABOUT, the Get Up Kids' second full-length album, has all the elements of a perfect emo record--catchy pop hooks, revving guitars, and confessional lyrics about confusion, alienation, and loss. The angst and need atthe centre of this music lends SOMETHING TO WRITE HOME ABOUT an aura of youthful naivete, but the Get Up Kids have the songcraft, focus, and sincerity to back it up, giving them the edge on many of their contemporaries.
The sweet yearning expressed in the near-ballad "Valentine", for example, isdisarming, as is the introspective travelogue on the piano/acoustic-guitar duet "Out of Reach". But even when the Get Up Kids crank it up--which they do with convincing passion oncuts like "Ten Minutes" and "Holiday", the album's opener--their winning vulnerability shines through. "The Company Dime", with its Fender Rhodes piano and arpeggiated guitars, shows the Get Up Kids capable of spinning interesting textures, too, one of several pleasant surprises on this fine sophomore release.
