    This CD has haunting songs and melodies that just stay in your mind. Soft and mellow but quietly powerful!

    4 out of 5 stars Excellent early year bonus Ep.......2005-02-09

    I first came across Matt Pond PA with "Emblems", and I was hooked. While the sound is nothing particularly new (see 1980's-The Alarm, U2, The Cure, Echo & the Bunneymen), it is refreshing to hear someone redo it so well. Pond offers three new songs and four choice covers on this Ep. The best of the bunch are "Snow Day" and his cover of Lindsey Buckingham's "Holiday Road". If you grew up in the 80's, as I did, you will remember the latter from the first "Vacation" movie starring Chevy Chase. Good songwriters are traditionally good music fans as well, and Pond proves this with his decision to cover Richard and Linda Thompson's "I want to see the bright lights tonight" and Neutral Milk Hotel's "In the aeroplane over the see". While he can't quite reach the same high notes as Jeff Mangum, Pond does do a good job of manipulating the song to his own sound, adding some distant atmosphere to a song that was already captured in it. I would recommend this Ep to any fans of his previous work, as well as, fans of other covers albums and Eps such as Mark Lanegan's "I will take care of you", the Twilight Singers'"She loves you" and Crooked Fingers' "Reservoir Songs". With this much atmosphere there is no denying it now, this guy is going to be around a long time.

    Because Matt Pond's contemplative cover of Oasis' "Champagne Supernova" made for perfect background music on The O.C., he now finds his band compared to the likes of Death Cab For Cutie and the Shins. While Several Arrows Later confirms there is a shared appreciation for gentle jangle pop melodies and confessional lyrics, there's something darker here that sets the Brooklyn quartet out from the rest of the teen drama pack. The singer's voice, for one, has the kind of weathered quality that only comes with years of despair, especially when calmly delivering a line like, "I might smash up all these windows and set fire to the curtains." Then there is the music--exuberant and alive, yes, but also strapped to a gray cloud that prevents it from ever sounding truly unhinged in deep, meaningful treatises like "Is It Safe" and anguished late night ballads such as "City Song." --Aidin Vaziri

    Album Description

    "Several Arrows Later" represents the most immediate and rocking expression of Matt Pond PA's music yet. His lyrics push through the confusion of city life (a smaller sky, throttling expectations, and terrible parties) and the comfort of country life (the familiar, the green, and the seasons) - both asking and telling us why we act the way we do. But it's not a call to action; it's a plea against apathy. Musically, it shies away from the redundancy of present day rock posturing yet remains totally immediate, relevant, and ridiculously catchy.

    1 out of 5 stars what a dissapointment.......2007-01-23

    I have all the matt pond pa albums but for some reason I bought this one just recently and it sucks. All his cds have at least 4 goodies but this one hasnt one. How can this be the work of the band that created the masterpiece Emblems. Oh well, maybe i can save someone else the time and money i waisted.

    5 out of 5 stars very cool and fun.......2006-08-30

    When I heard matt pond pa on sirius, I ran to 3 music stores to find it. Finally, I did! My husband and I love the whole album. I can't wait until they tour----- If matt pond PA reads this, please bring your very cool music to FloriDuh!

    4 out of 5 stars Good album from a band I'd not known well before. .......2006-08-03

    My exposure to matt pond PA was very limited before this album. I had only listened to the songs available to download from the official band website. I liked what I heard and was excited to learn about the latest album (October, 2005). A few guitars; a bass; a cello; drums; and the occasional keyboard, the recipe is a simple one to generate an enjoyable album from matt pond PA. Even though some of the songs blend together at the middle of the album, which makes them difficult to decipher from one another...

    01. Halloween This is a representative song of what I like about matt pond PA. The sound is relaxed but not slow. Your subconscious takes over before long and you're tapping your foot or bobbing your head.

    02. So Much Trouble If they have not yet taken it down, the video for this song is available at matt pond PA's myspace page. This song would go well on a mixtape with the Postal Service.

    03. The Trees And The Wild As the song starts I feel that the music might be boring. It is simple and a little slower, but that does not mean is has to be boring. It works well here. Decent track.

    04. Several Arrows Later The title track is a good song to appreciate Matt Pond's voice. The contrast between slower vocals and up-tempo music sounds pretty good.

    05. It Is Safe There is nothing too remarkable about this song, and nothing really worth mentioning. It is a solid track as we enter the middle of the disc.

    06. Emblems The music shakes you awake while the vocals rock you gently to sleep. Emblems leaves you slightly confused, though entertained.

    07. City Song I think it's the cello that adds the slower element to the album. It's good, but this is a song where it is more noticeable.

    08. From Debris This is one of the better songs on the album. The music grabs you right from the beginning. "From Debriiiiiis...you and meeeee...." Sing it with me.

    09. Brooklyn Stars This song is a great example of what I consider to be a strength in lyrics on this album. It seems a pretty simple story that may not be so simple after all.

    10. The Moviegoer I like this song now. The comparison to The Strokes - Last Nite drove me crazy for awhile, but it is not so bad anymore. It is a good song with a fun beat to it.

    11. Spring Provides The album really ends strongly. Not to say that the earlier tracks are not good, but it is just heavily weighted on the end. Spring Provides...provides more proof of that.

    12. Devil In The Water After Halloween, Devil in the Water is probably my favorite song on the album. They seem to have held nothing back as the album draws to a close. Not that this song is packed with loud energy, because it is not.

    They took some good songs and wrapped them in two great ones. There is no negative connotation when I describe this as a good "rainy day" album, when your energy level may match the weather outside. That might be one of the best times to listen to Several Arrows Later, though not only time. Check it out for yourself.

    4 out of 5 stars Matt Pond PA offers lyrical encouragement in times of despair.......2006-05-12

    This is a solid album; meaning that each song stands on it's own as a memorable experience. I got caught up in the lyrics pretty fast. They pushed at a well-developed perspective of reasonable and meaningful angst. (Though, there are moments when this perspective can be a put-off.) Lastly, if you dig, say, Death Cab For Cutie or maybe Sun Kil Moon, then you'll probably dig the sounds of Matt Pond PA.

    4 out of 5 stars New to me..........2006-03-05

    I had never heard of Matt Pond PA until I caught Liz Phair at the Vic Theater in Chicago. They opened for Liz and totally got my attention - they rocked and they were very likeable! As is usually the case with a quality band, I liked them live more than the album, but thought enough of them to remember their name and order the album three months later! They remind me of very, very early REM (who also used to frequent the Vic in those days) and other similar indie bands (okay, I'm dating myself, so what?). I think they have a great future if they continue to put out a unique sound and the great quality work that I saw in person and I enjoy on this album. Several Arrows Later is easy to listen to and is well worthy to add to your in-dash CD player or I-Pod. If you can, catch them live - these songs rock in person!

    Amazon.com essential recording

    In the 1960s, the Staple Singers began to make music that spoke to a wider audience than their core gospel fans. Gospel had served as the musical backbone for the Civil Rights movement from the beginning, but Pops Staples was spurred on by the inspirational messages of Martin Luther King Jr. to address more explicitly these issues. This 1972 record, an apex of groovy, mellow soul music (thanks to Al Bell's production and the definition-of-funky Muscle Shoals rhythm section), landed the group three Top 10 R&B hits and their first pop chart-topper, the joyous, bouncy "I'll Take You There." The Staples were always a one-of-a-kind gospel group; they managed to be the only one to inhabit the Top 10 without ever diluting their messages of tolerance, respect, and love. Who can fault any great preacher for wanting to spread the word to as many people as possible, especially when it sounds this glorious? --Mike McGonigal

    5 out of 5 stars A great Stax album of the Staple Singers from 1972!!.......2007-02-09

    This was the first album of the Staple Singers that I purchased on CD. I mainly got it to find out how their hit Respect Yourself sounds as well as I'll Take You There. I'm sure pleased that I did get this CD. Respect Yourself is almost five minutes long (while the single of it was only three and a half); this song is one of my favorite of theirs, as it tells you that if you disrespect anybody that you run into, you are disrespecting yourself as well. That is a great song. I also love I'll Take You There. The single of it is about three and a half minutes long, but on this album, you get the song in extended form. Love this song too!! I also like: This World, Are You Sure, We the People, I'm Just Another Soldier, and Name the Missing Word. Love this group. I have every one of their Stax album titles on CD. These folks are full of soul!!

    5 out of 5 stars Soulful!.......2006-07-10

    This happens to be my favorite musical group of all time. Their songs are easy to understand the words to and the words are fantastic. Very spiritual/moving/meaningful but still a great sound!! Was one of my fav record albums in the 70's and now I have it as a fav CD in the 2000's!!

    Ah, the Staple Singers. The soul group that brought me to soul. As an old punk rocker, old Bowie fan, and more, I just LOVE the Staple Singers. The musicianship is par excellence, and the singing is the sound of deep, moving musical moments. You cannont listen to this album and not be moved. Its just soooooo good. So good production, and the remastered version is absolutely fantastic. GET THIS ALBUM. Your life and soul will be greatly improved. I just wish there was more Staple Singers albums to listen to. They are all fantastic. Even live!!!!

    Everyone I've ever showed this band to fell in love with them. Emblems was my first introduction to them, and its perfect. I love the arpeggio guitar, the cello i mean c'mon a cello? This is classy stuff. Saw them in northhampton, ma in a small place, they were awesome and matt pond is a pretty funny guy. The lyrics are pure poety and quite beautiful. I also love when they sometimes use dissonant notes that battle each other, breaking out of the mold.

    4 out of 5 stars matt pond PA Emblems.......2006-01-29

    A wonderful, wonderful album. Not a bad song on the cd. The lyrics are thought provoking, the music warm and enjoyable. matt pond PA, as on their previous album, have made an album not just for fans of "indie" bands, but one that any music fan will enjoy. They know thier way around a catchy hook, while not giving anything up lyrically. Fans of matt pond PA must have this album. One of my top 5 albums for 2005.

    5 out of 5 stars Not a bad song in the bunch!.......2005-03-20

    Sadly, I was introduced to Matt Pond by the OC--maybe that doesn't do much for my indie-cred, but the song, "New Hampshire" caught my ear and lodged itself in my head after hearing it only once . . . The rest of the album is equally impressive: poetic lyrics, interesting melodies and a unique sound. Favorites include the aforementioned "New Hampshire," "Closest (Look Out)" and "Bring on the Ending." If you like singer-songwriter artists like Joseph Arthur or Damien Rice, you'll like MPPA. Do yourself a favor and buy this album--you won't be sorry!

    5 out of 5 stars Amazing music. Period........2005-02-26

    This is such an enjoyable record. The sense of melody & harmony is amazing, the instrumentation and arrangements keep everything interesting, and I always come back for multiple listens. Matt Pond pa's songs (on all their records) are just material that sticks with you long after the disc stops spinning. There are relatively few records I can honestly say I make it all the way through and turn right around and listen to again, but this is one of them. Acoustic guitars serve as the material's central focus, but they're not strummed in the plain, singer/songwriter way that's overly used and abused. The use of rhythms is intriguingly different, and each song has a wonderful sense of scope to suck you in. The acoustics are supplemented with tasteful electric guitars, cello (her parts are always interesting and memorable), rhodes, organs, keyboards, and a fantastic rhythm section. You can always walk away from one of these songs with no less than a dozen melodies in your head, be it the vocals, the cello, the guitars, whatever. If beautiful, catchy "chamber pop" even intrigues you a little, go for this record. It's a great place to start with their material, and in my opinion tops the last record (The Nature of Maps, which I absolutely loved).

    5 out of 5 stars Beautiful Chamber Pop.......2004-12-19

    At first listen, you'd swear that Matt Pond was just a pseudonym for Peter Gabriel; the similarity of their voices on several of the songs on this album is startling. This is music that builds; Pond's voice is one of many instruments used to construct a series of richly textured songs. Another of the band's five members is a cello player; her work adds a unique sound to the album, driving forward many songs with an intensity that only an instrument played with a bow can. The lyrics are deeply personal-surely some of the events related here actually happened to Pond-and the music suits this. Lush and layered, it cradles Pond's words and emphasizes them. This is probably the least-known and lowest-selling record I bought in 2004-but it deserves a much wider audience. It's only $10!

    5 out of 5 stars The Best of Swing.......2004-05-30

    Big Time Operator, a very popular San Diego swing band of the late 90s, was among the best of the best. Those of us who had the pleasure of hearing them in person found their big band jazz to be very exciting, nostalgic and even inspiring. Big Time Operator was honored to have been chosen by Frank Sinatra's wife to be the featured band at the Las Vegas tribute held shortly after Frank's death. At their peak popularity, their venues were from coast to coast, from Disney World to Disneyland. On the "High Altitude Swing" album, songs like Lunsford Special are resurrected from relative obscurity, and brought back to life so well that it makes you want to immediately get up and dance. Big Time Operator recorded a second and even better album entitled "The Game." It did not receive nationwide distribution as "High Altitude Swing" did. If you can find either album, buy it. Regrettably, the band's star began to fade in about 2001, along with the "swing revival." This band is sorely missed by many jazz fans across the U.S. today. We will wait with anticipation for the day they cut a "reunion" album. Bring it on!

    5 out of 5 stars Hot Swing Group.......2000-09-02

    This group from San Diego was unknown to me when I first heard them live in Phoenix, AZ over a year ago. They have a very tight sound and are very well rounded in their music - unlike many swing/retro groups around whose music all sounds the same. Their brass section is hot! I was very pleased to see that their CD captured at least some of the dynamics of this group. This is own of my favorite swing CD's and a "must have" in any swing/retro collection.

    1 out of 5 stars Yawn...........2000-06-03

    This album just didn't click for me. I like Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and Indigo Swing, and some Squirrel Nut Zippers.

    On this album, the playing seems mechanical and not inspired.

    5 out of 5 stars Hot Hot Hot!.......1999-12-01

    There is no question that High Altitude Swing is the best of the neo-swing CD's. As a swing dance instructor who has demonstrated lindy hop all over the world, I rely on BTO's smooth style and super-great sound. Any fan of 40's era big band music will undoubtedly love this CD. The brass section is incredible, the percussion establishes very danceable rhythyms, and best of all is Warren's velvet voice... Enjoy!

    5 out of 5 stars Not glossy, but glorious.......2007-03-16

    This album certainly divides people. I think it's superb. I bought it because I'm a fan of the Finns, but the album is its own entity. I've since bought a second copy to give as a gift to a friend, who also loves it. It's a great shame these guys never did anything further together.

    Many tracks are very beautiful -- especially 'I Decided to Fly' (I'm in full agreement with the earlier reviewer on that one), but also 'The Refuge Tree', 'Favourite Girl' and 'The Day You Were Born'.

    Further, the album is really not as sloppy as some reviewers here manage to imply -- from what they say, you'd think you'd be able to hear the band constantly slurping their beers!

    1 out of 5 stars Maybe it sounds good if you're drunk and/or stoned?.......2005-08-18

    On paper or in theory Alt probably sounded like a sound concept, Tim Finn (ex-Split Enz, Crowded House) along with other notable Australian musicians. The end result is too many chefs and not enough broth as this stew is pretty thin and not very tasty. On the whole it sounds like these songs were cobbled together bits hastily assembled over too many drinks and I've heard drunks singing karaoke that were more enjoyable and memorable than anything here. This sounds like it was recorded in one take on a crappy tape recorder while they were all drunk, not in tune or in key. The sound is very muddled and the singing is off-key at times and mumbled so as to render everything slight and confusing. For all the quality work these individuals have done over the years it's astonishing they would put out such crap as this. There's literally nothing I can say to recommend this for any reason. As a fan of Tim Finn, Crowded House, Finn Brothers, and Split Enz I had high hopes for this and they were dashed completely. I'd sell it here if I'd get anything for it. At $1.00 (USD) it's WAY overpriced! Utter rubbish!

    2 out of 5 stars Bad In A Sloppy, Friendly Way.......2003-04-25

    With vocals either drunken or mumbled and music that is as muddled as a live album, there is little to recommend with this B grade super group. Like all super groups, they disappoint, although given the obscurity of their members, it's not really clear who they are disappointing, skip it, you ain't missing anything. Just go buy another overrated Tim Finn album. Where have all the good times gone.

    5 out of 5 stars The Sound of Songwriting - Together Alone.......2002-01-19

    This work, much as the Finn brothers' duet album, is the work of a songwriting team, working their songs out for all intents and purposes there and then. Not polished, not reworked or edited to the Nth power...

    The musicians you hear captured their songs raw, new, and spur-of-the moment, in a home-brew fashion that adds more soul and flavor to the music than had the songs been reworked. Honestly, the sound works with these 3 singer-songwriters. Their 'demo' sound is better than most other groups' complete albums.

    4 out of 5 stars I Know Nothing of Split Enz.......2001-09-27

    I have no idea who these people are...nor do I care. One day while flipping through the bottom of the radio dial some 88.7 local radio show played I Decided to Fly. That is a great song no matter what. That's why I bought the CD. I don't know what else these people have done (I've heard 'of' Split Enz), nor do I know anything about drunken fun or whatever. I Decided to Fly is an excellent tune and that alone makes the CD worth owning.

      4 out of 5 stars Track List.......2004-12-27

      The track list shown above is for a different album called "Altitude". The track list for this album is: (1) You must be on drugs, (2) We're so cool, (3) Protect me from me, (4) I'll talk my way out of this one, (5) Along came Mary, (6) Annie says she can't. Somehow this rock group has gotten mixed up with a similarly named group that is associated with a more classical genre, since Amazon thinks people who are interested in "Alternative Rock" may also be interested in Stravinsky!! That's a stretch, I think.
