 [No title]
The first Foo Fighters record was, among other things, Dave Grohl's version of occupational therapy, a twelve-part valedictory speech upon sudden graduation from U. Grunge, and a refutation of the Klark Kent Principle ("beware the drummer's one-man side project").
Above all, it was a shockingly graceful lurch out from the shadow of his former band (you know - Scream), and a recasting of the hard-pop formula he helped crystallize, only without all that messy, distracting angst 'n' stuff.
Grohl seemed so talented, well-adjusted and ego-free (going so far as to include a band photo on the inner sleeve even though none of them played a note on the record), you began to wonder if the guy belonged in rock'n'roll at all.

 Evergreen: Evergreen: Pitchfork Record Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Their album is not some proto-DFA, proto-"HOJL", Ur-dancerock underground classic (although I'm willing to entertain the possibility that those who say otherwise are simply very imaginative dancers), and if hi-hat cymbals open at all during a song, check your speakers before you wind your neck.
Britt Walford, who percussed most notably in Kentucky bands Squirrel Bait, Slint, and The Breeders, is Evergreen's drummer and keyboardist.
Hendrix aside, if anything Evergreen seems to possess musicians who are more technically proficient, and since Murphy's production refuses to push all channels to the front of the mix, the album's depth of sound mirrors the depth of Evergreen's compositions in earnest.
