That guy looks really ill, hope he's made enough money to get some treatment.
Mock Orange is one of those bands that fills me with joy and also deep regret. While this album is amazing and makes me love them, the success has clearly gone to their heads, and they've gone from being one of the best emo/math rock bands to being at best an acceptable Modest Mouse clone. This theme of great bands who put out an amazing first album then become terrible is going to be a common one here. Because I am extremely bitter.
Nines & Sixes was, as I said, the first album released by these guys, in 1998 to be precise. It quickly gained them popularity, mainly due to the expert blending of odd time signature based musicianship with good old fashioned emo sensibilities. Then they went and made some other ones WHATEVER.
