Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars im obsessed with this CD and have been since it came out.......2005-11-30

'i like you most' is my favorite, with 'politics, music and drugs' being a close second... great sounding songs, tight instruments, fab vocals... and adorable lyrics. in 'i like you most' you hear, 'if you feel like you're slipping in value/i can offer you some of the skyline'... all together now... AWWWWWW.

my one complaint is that there hasn't been a followup. COME ON GUYS.

5 out of 5 stars man, they are great.......2004-05-10

i've just started listening to this the last few days and man. it's sweet. it's not unlike listening to the song "intermission" from the impossibles album "return", but on the whole this album is more upbeat. anyway, i can hear the elliott smith comparisons, i'm less sure about ben folds. i think the yo la tengo indie pop comparisons from the fbr website are closer than ben folds, although it's obvious gabe's singing in his unique voice. politics, music, and drugs and anaesthesia for the amputee are my favorites thus far, but the whole thing really is quite great. as an added bonus, it made me get out my impossibles albums that i havent heard in at least a year, so thanks guys.

5 out of 5 stars perfect. absolutly........2004-03-05

this is just one album that i would not change anything about. everything came out as it is suppost to be. the songwriting and lyrics are incredible, and each song is its own work of art.
this is one of my favorate albums of all time.

5 out of 5 stars Straight to the top shelf with my favourite albums........2003-10-16

I discovered Slowreader's "Every Part of Nothing" on a sample CD their label Fueled by Ramen sent me when I ordered a CD of The Stereo. Needless to say I fell in love with it on the spot and did not hesitate one second before ordering the whole album.

As the first one I heard, "Every Part of Nothing", with its moody bass line and ah-ahs, is still among my favourite, and "Politics, Music and Drugs" makes you want to stomp and clap along. But in my opinion, "Anesthetic for the Amputee" surpasses all the others with its tremendous beauty... Repeat Track.

It's hard not to be full of praise for this record. It's got atmosphere. In fact, it is so addictive that if I try to come off it for a couple of days, I then catch myself humming "Politics, Music and Drugs"'s catchy tune while hanging up the laundry or washing the dishes... as the irresistible urge to put it back in the player rises up in me again... Repeat All.

5 out of 5 stars i can't stop listening to this cd!.......2003-01-07

"helplessly, she says she's done and you're done for, pacing around, salting the wounds - wishing for more..."

ok, i had actually heard the cd in it's entierty at ... and it is wonderful take the intensity of the impossibles and turn it upside down to showcase their talant and briliance as musicians, and you have slowreader. i know old school impossibles fans will probably hate slowreader because lets face it, it's as far away from their beginings as a ska band as they could get. but for those who liked the "emo" sound of return and can handle an even more melodic, softer sound, you will fall in love with the beauty of gabe's voice and the overall poetry he conveys in his lyrics. sad to say the impossibles grew up, but they also grew into their amazing gifts as musicians. the best tracks on this album are: "politics, music and drugs", with it's soft guitar strums and stomp, clap beat sets the tone of the record as the first track; "anesthetic for the amputee", which softly portrays a man on the verge of death and is broken down with women singing as sweetly as angels; and "so this is it", the final song on the cd, which brings it to a close with a beautiful crescendo that harkens back to the sound of the impossibles, proving that they aren't dead, just transformed into somthing lovely and entirely differant. this album is a must have for people seeking a quiet fix of emotional, piano driven rock.
