Review: “You’re not the one with all the problems. You’re the one with all the pride.” This band was on top of the charts as their “Foiled” album hit the streets hard. I decided to go back in search for some of their older albums and see what the group put out back then. The live performance album Argue with a Tree presents the group in their element.

Without visually watching, the band sounds energetic as they pour their all into bringing life to their songs (both popular and fan favs). The dual disc is worth the purchase. The albums makes me want to see them in action. Top songs are “From My Brother,” “Amnesia,” one of my favs “Breakfast After Ten,” “Sexual Powertrip,” “Clumsy Card House,” “Razorblade,” “James” (lead singer said that would be last night performing it. About anger, revenge, hurting someone so bad), and “Amazing.”

This album gets 9.5 blades and an A for high energy and great songs.
