Love it!.......2007-04-11

Redo the Stacks is brilliant and got all the "ooh oohs" at the right places. Very charming lo-fi indie rock for fans of Superchunk or early Get Up Kids.

Greatest Power Pop Album of All Time?.......2003-06-05

Redo the Stacks is simply one of the best power pop records that I have ever heard. That might sound like damning with faint praise, but I swear it's not. The songs on Redo the Stacks are catchy and gloriously sloppy -- maybe kind of like a ragged version of Weezer. Out of the 20+ songs, there's hardly a bad one in the bunch. The songs range from lo-fi acoustic demos to full-blown rockers, but the songs all share a beautiful sense of melody. Some of the highlights for me are "Fidgeting Wildly", "Cannot Compete", "Don't Smash the Qualifying Man", "Tied to the Trailer". Don't take that to mean that those are the only good songs though; there's no filler here which is amazing for an album with so many songs.

For those familiar with only with later Centromatic stuff, the sound on this early record is kind of different. It's definitely a rawer sound, but it's certainly no less beautiful or melodic.

Converted.......2000-09-26

I am die hard fan of Shoegazer music, i.e. The Cure, My Bloody Valentine, etc. However, I am really impressed with this obscure band. This band's style is the antithesis of what I would normally listen to. For the life of me I cannot figure out why I am so moved by this band. The lead singer's voice is hardly palatable, but then again neither is Robert Smith's. Go figure. UGH! This is frustrating!! I really LOVE this band. I have this weird feeling that this band is going to be big. Too late, they are already number two on the college charts according to Rolling Stone magazine(July) . I have seen the future, and brace yourself this band is going to change alternative music.

SIMPLEy great.......2000-06-20

Heard these guys in Denton. Their songs are so simple, but so great. The album is recorded with cheap equipment, so it comes across as honest. It reminds me alot of Becks first recordings, although Centro-Matic is much more comprehensive.
