Always interesting to hear what Tom Shear has to say. I haven't spent enough time with this new album yet, but first impressions are good. I might have mentioned this in a previous post a while back, but the thing about Shear is that he packs a lot of emotion into his lyrics and vocal stylings without ever verging into the realm of the maudlin or the cheesy.

But it is sort of funny (funny strange, not funny ha-ha) to think that goth kids nod their heads and dance to a song like "Disappoint." That must be weird for Shear, to see kids move their feet to a song about his father's suicide.
