Excellent Emerging Band by Jeremy Gragg Corvallis, OR USA
Reviewed on December 27th, 2004
I first discovered Abandoned Pools through the MTV animated cartoon "Clone High". Abandoned Pools wrote the theme song, and many of their other songs were used throughout the episodes. Additionally, I later faintly heard one of the songs while watching Van Wilder for the 100th time. Overall, I'm very impressed by this band. They definately have a great style, which reminds me of a cross of Stabbing Westward and Smashing Pumpkins. Monster, for example, reminds me of Stabbing Westward completely and "Seed" is true to Smashing Pumpkins. However, the stuff that I really like is the softer, smoother songs like "The Remedy", "Start Over" and "Tighter Noose" (which will actual be on the next record). Additionally, I really like the singer's voice for this type of music. So, I really enjoy the music of the Abandoned Pools and I hope you give them and this CD...as well as their upcoming one, a try.
