This record simply puts me in a great mood. It's catchy, fun, emotionally powerful, and it rocks hard. Coming out of Torrance, CA, Joyce Manor created a buzz with the "Constant Headache" demo they put out last year. Two of those tracks are featured on the bands newest full length on 6131 Records. For being this bands first run at an LP, its pretty impressive. Theres a lot to like about this album. The lyrics are smart and witty, the melodies bounce around playfully and will be trapped in your mind for days, the vocals are intensely passionate and it's short and to the point. Some might have a problem with that last note but personally I tend to think, the shorter, the better. It doesn't leave any room for getting borded or played out. Another thing to love about this record; it carries with it the kind of emotion you would find in any of 10,000 emo/indie bands out there without making you feel like a whimp for listening to it. No matter how hard it tuggs at your heart, it maintains a sense of humor and honesty that anyone can relate to.It is only January and we already have a front runner for Best Album of 2011. Hot damn.
Buy this now.
