TMND This is a catchy album with some great lyrics and melodies. The guitar and bass riffs are unique and cool. For example the guitar layering at the end of "left brain" sounds awesome. Great album, I encourage the purchase or at least a listen. And not just one listen, my favourite song changes every time. Favorite track: Bahamas.

Down & Out 02:54
sitting here with nothing to do i always hate having to choose what’s the point in being young when i should be free (i’m having no fun) i’m coming down with a cold you never do what you’re told writing cheques that i can’t cash some day i’ll deal with the aftermath everything that you said i let it go to my head but it’s all the same yeah it seems to me whether you’re flying high or walking on the street walking on the street build it up then take it apart when you’re finished go back to the start try again with a different view i’ve got the time (but i haven’t thought it through) i hope this time i get it right soon enough i’ll see the light illuminate the darkest of times like when i’m down and out and i got no rhymes got no rhymes illuminate the darkest of times like when i’m down and out and i got no rhymes got no rhymes but it’s all the same yeah it seems to me whether you’re flying high or walking on the street walking on the street

Left Brain 03:08

surfin' through the static of those television dreams tryin' to decipher what the fuzz it all means out of step and your out of line out of touch and i'm out of time i sold it all but not for free hard to save a dime in this economy flippin' station to station of those television dreams everybody's talkin' through enigma machines out of step and your out of line out of touch and i’m out of time i sold it all but not for free hard to save a dime in this economy modern victims of another tragedy modern victims of another tragedy shot for the stars but they were bullet proof you wanted fiction and got the truth i took a piss in the fountain of youth

can you feel it? alright you know do not forget it can you hear it? softly dripping into a coma no one told me it would be this way i had to find out on my own when it all begins to slip away i'll still be here on my own can you see it? on the horizon it's getting closer can you taste it? i know you can now try and understand no one told me it would be this way i had to find out on my own when it all begins to slip away i'll still be here on my own can you feel it? alright you know do not forget it

Music video for Bahamas: vimeo.com/148170275

"The video totes a visually captivating blend of
Saturday-morning television and a depressing,
alcohol induced hallucination. By incorporating
various thematic elements and contrasting bright,
cartoony scenes with the lovable grit of some
favourite local venues, ‘Bahamas’ stands out as
being ‘not your average music video'." -Secret East
