Acceptance
“Black Lines to Battlefields”
(The Militia Group)
These guys have got a lot of Jimmy Eat World in them, minus the omnipresent melodies. “Black Lines” is a little weird because it’s just seven tracks, which makes it either a long EP or a short LP. Either way, it’s a pretty decent ride. Boasting excellently poetic and introspective lyrics along with a healthy dose of understated guitars, the fivesome has pieced together a highly entertaining album that will fit in right next to your Juliana Theory and Further Seems Forever CDs. You’ll like them, just like R. Kelly likes little girls. Why am I always hating on that guy? I should be more accepting, don’t you think? Acceptance would accept him, I’m sure. They’re good. Check ’em out. Enhanced CD, too.
