I'll keep listening... There's some weird kind of sub genre of music that's evolved for shows watched by teen/college aged women. This band seems to have some chops but I sense that they were sprayed on, like their fake tans, post production. I think we'd be deeply disappointed in ther stage performance. |

The All Music Guide kind of savaged this album in their review — I think they're dead wrong (not the first time, but one of their more egregious misses). This is an excellent album. Remy Zero only had 3 proper albums and they're all quite different — this is the best IMO.

Just heard Remy Zero for the first time & wow. Hey how can you not like an album with your name in the title as an extra bonus?
It must have been hell at school having a name like Zero ;) |

So thrilled to know I'm not the only one who knows about Remy Zero and Villa Elaine. This has been a favorite of mine for about 10 years now. I discovered them just a month after they played my town. They never came back. Truly sad I never got to see this band perform live.

But that's just me. Good song. Gotta pick this up.
Since I heard of Remy Zero first (and I think they pre-dated Turin Brakes), I'd say that the Turin Brakes sound like Remy Zero. (As a matter of fact, I did, on one of the songs from TB's new CD.) Either way, we both agree on the same point...they sound like each other.  |

This could not sound less like Jeff Buckley and I think rp needs to play more Jeff Buckley, the last five songs have been awful. What's happened to this station?

I second the "thought it was U2" vote. I wasn't really paying attention and only figured out it wasn't U2 when the next song that came was a definite U2 song.
And another vote for the Bono Sound-alike...poor guy (Remy) is cursed. Prob. hears that all the time.  |

Two Remy Zero albums are among the best albums I've ever heard in the past 10 years. Easily. (Not their first one.)

"Dashboard Confessional" - now that's one of the top 10 band names of all time. |

Thank goodness for an ex-girlfriend that worked in the music biz... might never have discovered them had it not been for her. |
