The Meat Purveyors - All Relationships Are Doomed to Fail - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

On Pain By Numbers, Austin, TX's own MEAT PURVEYORS have distilled their attack down to the essentials three parts liquid nitro, three parts stare-into-the-bottom-of-the-glass heartbreak, and four parts Let's Take It Outside, Short Pants. InchThese loyal deconstructionists are a trashy treasure... TMP mine their musical riches from the middle ground between pure and absurd. They love bluegrass enough to kick the dust off the form, but they don't wear goofy hick hats or play junkyard appliances.Inch Album Tracks 1. TMP Smackdown 2. How Can It Be So Thirsty Today? 3. Monday Morning 4. Heartbreaker 5. Paint By Numbers 6. It Won't Be Long 7. Cold Hard Rain 8. Leaving 9. Daydreams About Night Things 10. I'd Rather Be Your Enemy 11. In the Middle of Nowhere 12. One I Love Is Gone 13. Amanda Ruth 14. Car Crash

Have the Pains made the kind of record that will matter to the kind of people to whom records still matter? From the opening explosions of electric guitar on InchBelongInch and the sumptuously synthetic dance pop perfection of InchThe BodyInch to the prom-in-heaven chorus of InchEven in DreamsInch and the closing moments of the uncommonly sincere and affecting InchStrangeInch the answer is an unqualified, resounding (and damn good sounding) YES! BELONG unleashes added power, while retaining all the sweet sweet melodies that still hit that pop spot. Album Tracks 1. Belong 2. Heaven's Gonna Happen Now 3. Heart in Your Heartbreak 4. The Body 5. Anne with An E 6. Even in Dreams 7. My Terrible Friend 8. Girl of 1,000 Dreams 9. Too Tough 10. Strange
