One of the best of 2006.......2007-01-13

This year I was introduced to Eleventh Dream Day based on an enthusiastic recommendation to buy the re-release of Prairie School Freakout. I was pretty blown away by that (their first, sort of) album, so I had to explore more of their stuff. Next up was their latest, Zeroes and Ones, the subject of this review. I'm not sure if I like this better than Prairie School Freakout or not, because they're very different. Much has changed in the 20 years between the two records. Where Prairie School Freakout sounded like kids just jamming away in a garage (or barn), this one sounds like, well, adults doing the same damn thing, but without sounding like they're looking back or treading old ground in any way. I'm not going to go track by track, but this record is phenomenal. There is not a weak song on here, and everytime I listen I find a new favorite. "The Lure" will grab you right away. Later, you'll realize how amazing "Journey With No Maps" is. And "For Martha". And the other nine songs... A bunch of great songs, and perfect for a late night drive. If you love good rock music with edge, this is it.

Eleventh Dream Day should be more appreciated.

Steady, more focused if less exhilarating.......2006-08-18

I write this as a fan who's been listening to the band since (the now newly re-issued) "Prairie School Freakout" grabbed me and never let go. The streamlining of a longtime indie band's sound, two leaders of the band who are partners, and a cleaner guitar sound: it could be Yo La Tengo, but this new record from one of America's best indie bands and longest lasting, is closer in approach to of another album that came out (with a bigger budget, savvier media profile, and critical acclaim, predictably) a couple of months later, Sonic Youth's "Rather Ripped."

EDD labors in the trenches and their albums have never let me down. They are a dependably strong band, and I only wish they could record more often than what's now every three years or so. EDD goes back nearly as far as SY, to the mid-80s, and they on this album sound less strained in their trademark Neil Youngish phrasing and emotional heights and lows. The album does not have as many up-tempo, speedy tracks. Twenty years on, these understandably get fewer for most any group.

So, what's different? Their hometown Chicago studio precision honed by a John McIntire-influenced (note Tortoise connection!) sharp edgy sound of their indie-label albums since A&M dropped them a decade ago here is softened. The album tracks move along at a more consistent rate, but fewer of them stand out. For instance, the first four all plug along at about the same pace--this is not a feature of past EDD records, which loved to veer about rather than stay in the middle of the road.

"New Rules," and the last three tracks, delve deeper into the recognizable EDD jangle-meets-chug-meets-squawk, alternating male-female harmonies, and ragged lyrical glory. This is the band's signature sound, and what they deserve acclaim for. The rest of the songs, while all done with care, don't leap out at me as much. The band works best when cresting and swooping--bringing their melodies down to a mournful lament or up to a dizzy climax. Perhaps more playings will display the band's craft better--they do have a new keyboardist as a regular member now, and this stability may take a while to make its effect on the band beyond this one album.

The album moves quickly, but its efficiency seems to downplay the experimental, extended exercises that show the band stretching out around the guitars & drums more imaginatively. If EDD is trying for a different direction, it's not exactly clear from these mixed if respectable as ever results what it'd be. I'd give it 3.5 stars on the Amazon scale if I could, but by comparison with their best albums from the past decade on Thrill Jockey, this one falls behind a bit. So, as with "Rather Ripped," "Zeroes and Ones" is a fine if not daring album by a dependable, intelligent band that remains (much more for EDD, however and unjustly) on the margins of the indie-experimental genre for over 20 years.

Avoid their live performances.......2006-11-23

At best, this band is passable. The music is unmemorable, the vocals are weak, and the band itself is unengaging. I saw them open for the New Pornographers on tour, and despite their ear-catching name, should have figured they'd fit the formula. What formula is that, you ask? The one where you go to see an indie rock band of the level of New Pornographers - that is to say, a band that is unique, talented, and has a following but hasn't crossed over into much radio play, or money-lining-the-pockets album sales - and you pray to whatever you choose to pray to that there will only be one opening band. Because as the bands move down the line up, so the assault to your ears increases proportionately. Immaculate Machines was the first band in a three band line up. By definition, they had to be awful.

Though their music was completely forgettable, their own self congratulatory commentary on their own creativity has become a running joke around here. Example:

one band member: Alright! Now we're going to play another really cool song for you!

another band member: AWESOME!!!!

Sounded like a pep rally for the losing team, not indie rock. This is not recommended.

Mindblowing musicianship.......2006-01-18

When I saw this band, I said "werd... this is ill". They sound kinda like some other bands I've heard too. Kinda like a cross between Mystery Facelift and Killing Flowers. You have probably never heard of those other bands, but that is okay, because slimshady69 is way more up on his "ish" than any of you. So take his word for it. They will make you feel horny. In a good way. You simply must get this album. Or don't. Like slimshady69 gives a #@&^. He just wants to slam the keyboard chick! Whatsup baby? How you doin? I hope she doesn't have a boyfriend in the band, because the next time she comes through Parkville, Wisconsin, I will have candles ready in the bathtub. Straight gentlemanly steez, maybe a bottle of wine. Some soul music. Thats right biatch.

Pretty good indie rock - the singer might not be for everyone, but it's very well done! - 4.5 stars.......2006-01-11

"Ones And Zeroes"'s biggest flaw are the singers - they just aren't very likable (especially the female vocalist). Fortunately, though, none of the songs are "bad", and the musicianship is usually pretty interesting - depending on whether you like the singers or not, every track is good. It's somewhat derivative sounding, but they somehow manage to make a slightly unique sound. I'm not sure if they've found their sound yet, though. The musicianship is definitely very good and the production is pretty well done. The lyrics, unfortunately, are very hard to make out, but when they're decipherable they're actually somewhat good (some of the time)! It comes close to a classic, but the singers arguably hurt the rating. Despite this, however, chances are that indie rock fans will still love it! Highly recommended!

Highlights include:
the entire album!

Great live too!.......2005-11-15

What a talented band this is. I saw them in concert opening for New Pornographers in Chicago and they were fabulous. I hope they get the attention they deserve.

watch out for these guys!.......2005-10-23

This is a great trio! I love these guys! Just listen to the drumming alone. The song writing is wonderful. The band looks good. I own all of their music and you will not be unhappy if you get one of their c.d.s These people are truly one of the up and coming new generation bands . It is inspirational music. I love them!
