This band sounds so much, ok too much like Pinback. I'm a huge fan of Pinback and all Rob's and Armistead's work. I must have listened to this album a hundred times. I like it but I can also put it down . This melodic style of guitars and harmonizing of vocals catches me every time. But, this album is weak lyrically and is musically amature. Three stars at the most. I gave four stars because I do think they have potential for a better second album if they make one. The Metal Hearts are an 18 year old and 19 year old duo, so they have plenty o' time to get polished. This album could of used better production too. I will keep an ear out for these guys. Also, check out System Officer(Armistead's side project).
