“Down town looks like don’t own if you look at it right.”
Because the words are unapologetically direct, never rhyme and are filled with the most wonderful, subtle inside jokes that remind me of all the hours I've spent screwing around with my friends - stealing worthless items from Walgreens and lighting ice cream cartons on fire (amongst a myriad of other youthful indiscretions).
Nostalgic reminiscence notwithstanding, what makes this record really endearing is that Travis and company never suggest that we look back, but instead demand that we embrace the creativity and insanity of our youth, as adults, not in reflection but in practice..."...just a simple plan to keep you awake."
