The first track, "Darling D," is reflective of the vibe one will find on the entire album, yet the journey through this band's debut recording brings to mind any word but monotony. Try emotive, deep, thick, and tight - and that's just the guitars! Great production also drips from the disc, as more strictly evidenced by "Mystery," with its laid back semi-Choir-like guitars and punchy opening drums. Most all of the impassioned vocals on the record, however, are dangerously similar, lending the casual listener an obliviousness to track differences. Whatever you call it, whether emo or just modern rock, Exeter Flud's first time out is a success.
