Brief Album Review: Mistaketh
There are only two pieces of evidence that !!! is not the second coming of Liquid Liquid. As these consist of a re-recording of "Bell Head" and a remix of the same, both appearing on DFA Compilation #2, I shall consider these irrelevant.

Brief Album Review: Dying with the Living
Dear Ted Leo,
Your new album is too long. When you were still with Lookout, you proved that the EP was not a dead art (see: Tell Balgeary, Balgury is Dead); you should have kept this in mind upon moving to Touch and Go.
Also, your attempt at channeling D. Boon on "Bomb. Repeat. Bomb." is only somewhat successful. You need to sing more from your throat in order to get his essence.
Otherwise, it's a damn fine album.

p.s. Thanks for finally spelling your band name out with the "and the." That slash shit was driving me nuckfuts.
p.p.s. Remind me to start listening to Chisel.
