Umphreys...its me, Kara. I saw you last friday, September 2nd @ STL Pageant for my birthday. It was my first time seeing you. I was in the front in the pit. You guys played a crazy awesome dissonant mashup, and its become my favorite thing. I'm looking through all your albums until I find it. Keep rocking out. Much love.

Love Bridgeless so much.

But I enjoy the vocals, and there's plenty of instrumentation.

More overly noisy and overly thoughtful songs from the world's most progressively OK rock band. I have the thought that UM should become a jazz band doing pretty instrumental love songs, but it is not going to happen. Not that it should.

How's your career going?

[@Olivetree80]

How can something be "overly" thoughtful? So there is a con to be being intricate, deep, and well thought out??

[@tim9453]

Notice he didnt reply to my question. Because hes a loser. A loser who goes on youtube rips on ppl who are better than him to make himself feel good.

I think this band works best doing instrumentals. To my ears, as an instrumental rock band they are the closest rock band to the jazz-fusion school of playing. I like that. Its also "progressive". What I meant by "overly thoughtful" was writing songs full of tense, angry or worried/preoccupied lyrics. That's the way a lot of the band's songs sound to me. I think they're better just playing. IMHO, that's where the "intricate, deep and well thought out" element to their music surfaces best: in the instrumental arrangements. Not the lyrics.
