This sounds like a Pixies b-side. That's a compliment.

One of the first songs I wrote for the album. The lyrics are stream of conscience that I don't think mean anything at all. I don't know, maybe they do. It ends the album purely because the lyrics say "It's over..." * Disclaimer: I understand…

This is a great to finish out the album.

Still meta... but with the realization that I can do RPM no matter what my hinderance is. I did this whole album with an Ipad, my acoustic, a cheap microphone and a pair of headphones. All the songs were written hastily in minutes with no real…

This almost reminds me an odd cover of The Beautiful South.

I feel the keys and pop feel of this one screams of Tim's influences. Like if we both listened to the same song, this would be my take away vs his. Lyric content? You guessed it... Meta. * Disclaimer: I understand that most of the…

Damn you. You out Letter Seventeened me. And you're spot on. If we were given lyrics and chords and told to go write a song this is your version versus mine, but they'd be damn close. I mean, mine would have 30 backing vocals.... Bonus points for the very gratuitous hand claps.

This Wretched Vessel has a lot of post hardcore, Pop punk, punk, and leaning toward metal guitar riffs... but they have a shoegaze side. The only reason I even own a pedalboard is because of their guitarist. The lyric content is more meta…

This is a lovely piece of emotion. I don't know what you're saying and I don't care. It's a feeling and it comes through. Seriously? An iPad and a $5 mic? Wow.

The song titles have nothing to do with the lyrics. They were just cool placeholders...then they ended up staying the titles. * Disclaimer: I understand that most of the songs on this album are pitchy and hard to listen to. I recorded all…

I love the "losing s-s-sync" bit.

Glitter and unicorns destroyed my recording device. I used an Ipad from a friend and used garageband to record the whole album with a cheap $5 microphone. I could have done it on my Iphone as well but my eyes aren't what they used to be... the…

Listened to the whole album; strong melodies, great vocal range. You did all this in two days? Could've fooled me. I get the setup isn't what you would've liked, but I think the whole thing sounds brilliant. Lo-Fi/DIY/what-have-you, I love the simplicity, rawness, spontaneity of it all... and of course, the meta-ness too. Great album title, BTW.

Dig the X-Files ref. Is Sabrina a sexy little grey or an Earth girl on whom the protagonist is sweet, and both get caught up in the alien cuddling? (Perhaps I am over-analyzing! Carry on.) In any event, nice job!

The most non meta song on the record. This one is about a women I knew once. Sought the attention from everyone. Would burn you the moment you didn't agree with her. Her name happens to be Angie and really thought she was everyone's saviour…

A whole 10 song album in under five minutes. Why? Just because we can. Is it good? Heck no.

I dunno man, in some odd way this works as a suite... or as just experimental song structure. I like it a lot.

Brilliant! Probably the shortest 10 song album in the history of everything.

Saved!
