Sounds Like: This:
LISTS is the testimony of a band that has reached ramming
speed. Not only is it musically clever in every way possible,
but this record makes me wonder and just a little bit afraid
of about a thousand different things that happen in my head
and heart every day. (And I can only assume that they're
happening to everyone else at the same time, which just
sweetens the deal.) Unit 7 Drain’s work is like a spotlight
searching in a dark room, glancing off of the corners and
flashing shadows on the walls. Shadows of things rarely
look like the things themselves and there is something
unnerving about that.
