Pinback is like candy for me. I like sugar so much that I tend to eat too much candy and then I feel sick. Every time I listen to one Pinback album I end up listening to all of them because they're so addictive. Then I have to wait a while before picking it up again so I don't get sick of them. They have such a unique sound that I can't duplicate the mood that their songs produce with any other music. I have the same problem with Boards of Canada (who really need to put out another album). The one drawback to this is that there isn't much variety to Pinback's music, which brings me to their current album. Throughout their so far short career their music has been slowly evolving and being refined, but yet a song from their current album wouldn't sound out of place on their first. All of their songs kind of run together in my head (this is why I never understood why Blue Screen Life, their second full length, was so maligned). Now if this trend of similarity continues on future albums, I may start to get bored of the formula. For the time being however, I'm just happy to have more candy.
