An album that has come to be seen in mythic dimensions in the eyes of believers likr a great coming of age novel or film that you must experience before you die. Catcher In The Rye in 12 inch form. It's the sound of failure essentially and what exactly it i that's so appealing about it.
Released in 2003 by an independent guitar band from New Jersey. Formed in the late eighties and infamous for their prevarications and intense intrigue and struggles with erm just about everything. The Meadowlands represents everything that makes Rock & Roll so intriguing and remunerative. It's why I write It Starts With a Birthstone. Why I return to the mine seam with a pick and shovel on a daily basis.
Any album that starts with The House That Guilt Built is unlikely to concud with I am the Resolution. The Wrens sensed that the New Millennium was not likely to be fitted for such gestures. The precedent for this as with so much that I write on on It Starts is Murmur.
The guitars are sturdy if the vocals bleaat somewhat. But instrumentation provide solid foundations and tetify to why this album had had such an enduring and powerpful legacy
