Album Description
From 1994-2000, At The Drive-In held the attention of music fans and critics alike. During their career, they released three albums and numerous EPs. You can hear their influence today on so many releases across the rock genre. Members have gone on to form The Mars Volta, Sparta, and various other projects. "Displaying an earnest intensity befitting pre-irony U2, At The Drive-In are an exhilarating and exhausting experience--the sight of five young men ever pushing against and beyond the limits of physical and emotional endurance with crusader zeal"--Rolling Stone. In early 2005, look for the "Anthology" CD of greatest hits, exclusive unreleased tracks, rarities, covers, videos, interviews, and exclusive live footage.

Music/Listen/Repeat.......2006-08-07
At The Drive In have long been praised as one of the most innovative and extraordinary groups in music. However there was a time in their career when they were just finding their footing and growing into the monster they would become. The trial stage was "Acrobatic Tenement", but with this, their sophomore album "In/Casino/Out", At The Drive In displayed what they have been known for, for years now : Amazing song-writing. If you're not familiar with the early stages that the band went through to get to where they were, then this is of the utmost importance to listen to. Not just that, but it is even more evidence as to why At The Drive In was easily one of the best bands of the last 10 years, and one of the most inspirational and original groups to emerge in music.
"Alpha Centauri" opens the album in dizzying fashion, giving way to shattering guitar chords, frantic drumming, and a soulful performance by front man Cedric. Jim and Omar play off one another with interesting (and most impressive) guitar structures and progressions, that at most times will leave your jaw on the floor. However they are only complimented by Paul's rumbling bass lines and Tony's outlandish drumming. And this is just the first song. Don't get comfortable, because as quickly as "Alpha Centauri" ends, the jarring, schizophrenic "Chanbara" kicks in showcasing its wild yells, interesting drumming and excellent lyrics. You can hear a bit of Mars-Volta-ish style vocals during the verse, which was a sign of things that would come in the future after At The Drive In's break-up. But just as quickly as the band can floor you with the powerful tracks, driving numbers like "Napoleon Solo" and "Hourglass" show how diverse they can get at the drop of a hat. However I wouldn't say this is a difficult listen at all. "Hulahoop Wounds", "For Now.. We Toast" and "Transatlantic Foe" are all upbeat and accessible, but they are easily balanced out by more aggressive pieces like "Shaking Hand Incision" and "A Devil Among The Tailors." There's such a wide range of dynamics and writing on here, it's hard to get bored with anything the band presents.
Of all the 11 tracks to be found on the album though, "Lopsided" has got to be the absolute best. I will go as far as to say it's the best song the band has ever written. Now of course I hold a certain bias since it is both the first song I ever heard by the band and my personal favorite. Like all the songs found on the disc, the lyrics are absolutely stunning (Cedric is really one of the greatest writers in music) and the musicianship is unparalleled. Furthermore it's probably the most strikingly different tune that the band has ever recorded. While every song on the record is an instant classic in and of itself, "Lopsided" truly set the standard for what I held At The Drive In too.
After all is said and done, there is not a single moment on this cd that is anything less than enjoyable. While this album is not considered as great as their final album "Relationship Of Command", (I have no idea why though) "In/Casino/Out" is really a necessary purchase for all fans of the band, and indie-rock/post-hardcore in general. It was really the biggest stepping stone in the band's discography, and if it lead to great products like "Vaya" and "Relationship Of Command," it would seem like there is little to complain about. While "Acrobatic Tenement" was a bit pre-mature, "In/Casino/Out" was truly when this band become one of the innovators in modern music. Easily deserves the endless mass of praise.
arguably their best.......2006-05-18
Most ATDI fans I meet say that this album or relationship of command are their best albums. I would have to say this is, in my opinion, their best album. The energy and emotion throughout each and every song is clearly heard. Acrobatic Tenement was a good start and it had the energy and emotion but what that album lacked was the abstract lyrical content of Cedric and some polish on the music. The production quality is better, the music is cleaner or more focused and it is obvious at how much the band matured from the Hell Paso ep in '94 to this album in '98. The music and lyrics are not as basic on this album as they were on previous work. El Gran Orgo was not a bad ep but you can tell with a couple members leaving after the first full length there was not as much that could have stood out on that effort. I think this is what they were looking to do. Relationship maybe a bit more accessible and the music shows even more talent for them than this album but this album just captures the essence of what this band was for me. This is the album that really got me into ATDI. To me there is not one bad track on this album. If you are new to ATDI definitely pick this one up, it will be worth it. And to the reviewer below me, some of the greatest voices over the years have sung way out of tune. Bob Dylan, Lou Reed....just to name a couple, and they are heavy influences on lots of people. Out of tune adds to the effect of this band cause it was not meant to be a flawless album. This band was not meant to be polished, they displayed the raw energy,confusion,emotion of youth. I really don't think people care how Cedric's voice sounds, its the emotion behind it. Plus you should go pick up a Mars Volta album and hear Cedric wail on those albums. Than tell me he is not a good front man.
Just amazing.......2005-07-13
Well I've heard their other two major cds and this one never really stood out to me before. I saw they had releases a greatest hits compilation and listened to one of the songs on it from In-Casino-Out and found it to be very good. So I gave the rest of the cd a try and was just blown away by the incredibleness of it. Evey song has that tight sound to it, its just rock thats perfectly crafted. It's fun to listen to, I hear they had an amazing live show and the energy the music itself makes just lends to it. I feel like I'm right there watching them while listening to this masterpiece. My favorite songs are Hulahoop wounds and Lopsided. Overall though the cd doesn't have a bad song on it and is well worth the listen.
PLEASE COME BACK AND SAVE MUSIC!!!.......2005-04-08
At the Drive-In really needs to come back and save music. I was 11 when I first saw them..they blew my mind. They instantly became my favorite live show ever. For anyone who never got to see them live, I'm sorry. I've seen the Mars Volta and Sparta live and it's nothing compared to what ATDI had. This record is the best work they ever did. I can't even suggest any band that they are in the vain of. They were their own and to compare them to any other band would be an insult. I just hope they come back together at some point and save the music industry...It needs help. K
If you can't get the best of us now..........2005-04-02
This is a really fun cd! The band's second full length album, this one feels a small step up in maturity and songwriting from the band's previous, "Acrobatic Tenement." It's slower in some places, but faster in others, and the playing in general is better.
Unlike AT, this album doesnt open very well. Alpha Centauri is okay. Its fast, kind of dissonant, but in a cool way. Chanbara is just ugly, I think, but the percussion is cool and it grows on you. Things pick up at track 3, Hulahoop Wounds, a really catchy, well written song with awesome lyrics. Track 4, Napoleon Solo, is slow and haunting. The way it builds is brilliant and the bridge is one of the most beautiful things ever. Track 5, Pickpocket has some really awesome guitar playing and is very catchy. Its short, but not as short as some of the tracks on the last album (like Star Slight). For Now, We Toast is a great pop tune. The verse is really catchy, and while a little irritating, the chorus is too. The lyrics are about digging a tunnel out of a prison. It's really cool. A Devil Among The Tailors is my least favorite on the album. I think its ugly and boring. The dissonance that the band often uses is used too much here, and it just sounds bad. However, things pick up with Shaking Hand Incision, which is intense and complex, one of the best songs on the album. The drummer is really awesome here. Then comes Lopsided, a powerful, creepy ballad about some sort of mystery with a ship. I don't get it, but its really cool. Hourglass is a radiohead-esque lo-fi ballad which starts out great and keeps getting better, until its perfect ending, where it gets distorted. The last track on the album, Transatlantic Foe, is in my opinion the band's greatest song. It's beautiful, upbeat, and the perfect closer for the album. The lyrics make no sense but I love them.
Fans of punk/rock/emo, or anything else really, should own this. It's a great CD! And while you're at it, check out The Mars Volta, which has the singer and lead guitarist from this band. They're even better!
