| | EARLASH : Album Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11) |
 | | The breakout second album from their previous band, the Promise Ring, lent Greenwald's book its title, and seems inherently associated with the subgenre of which the Promise Ring's success was at the forefront. |
 | | Lyrically, von Bohlen's focus has moved from desire to fulfillment: "Adios" includes the lyric "This morning I was not alone," while Adios's "In Your Arms" opens with a couple of lines about heading to bars to pick up women. |
 | | Adios opens with its title track and "Someone Has to Die." By contrast, Glass Floor begins with the pensive, mostly acoustic "The Window is the Door." Von Bohlen's voice echoes through the phrase "I'm not your way out," while the lyrics call up images of anxiety, urban decay, and indecision. |
