Synopsis

Album Description

"As Best As We Can" represents a unique position in the bands sonic history. A deft blending of material including sparkling new treatments of some of their best loved live songs and brand new material are woven into a musical cloth that is soft, comfortable and just familiar enough to feel good about. Stand out tracks include "The Ski Team" with jangling guitar pressed into service sweet vocal harmonies, "My Defense" another great road song with pounding piano, "If" a seemingly straight ahead rock song with hilarious lyrics, and "Another Song Ray Hates" whose muted trumpet and mellow guitar meld into a near perfect pop classic. Treat your ears to 11 songs that you won?t be able to get out of your head ? your brain will thank you.

CD Reviews

Wonderful!

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Energy, talent and a tuba. I think those three words best describe the nerd-rockers of Snmnmnm.

Pass this down to all your friends! Amazon has a great description of the album, better than whatever I could babble on about...but I will babble, nonetheless.

Not many digital tricks, pure indie goodness, crunchy guitar riffs, Beach Boys style harmonizing (as Amazon has aforesaid) this is just a very overlooked album. Give it to your local College Radio station! They'll eat it up!

The only thing that gets stuck in my craw is the lack-luster "Another Song Ray Hates" I think I understand the premise, but it's just soooooo bland.

Otherwise, great album, awesome band, cool tuba. (ELECTRIC tuba. I saw that guy live, he had an amazing 5-minute solo in "Spanish Cucumber, jeeze he's got one set of lungs.)"
