A review of the album this track is taken from...
"Nuisance" (a self-deprecating title if ever there was one...) is a great and varied album. It mostly bounces along on the poppy guitars and excitable lyrics that can only come from having an average age under 22. Led by the fey, lithe, androgenous and handsome Johnny Dean, the boys examined such topics as bumming around New York, bumping into your ex girlfriends and being famous in 4/4 time with big choruses, cheery harmonies and classic lyrics (""Tess", he said "I don't understand how they grow tomatoes in a can...""). However, inbetween all the pop-rock lay some ballads that displayed a more serene side to the band, and a musical and lyrical maturity that was unexpected based on their public image, and largely over-looked by a music press intent only on building artists up to knock them down. "Being Brave" and "Piece of Me" are soul-searching gems that wouldn't be out of place on a Bright Eyes or Dashboard Confessional album, and the hidden bonus track "Nuisance" adds a further depth and musical expansion by being both guitarless and in 3/4 time.
Shamelessly borrowing from the Beatles, Kinks and Stones and yet creating a sound and an image that was unmistakably their own Menswe@r ruled 1995. With poppy guitar-rock now back in fashion and called "Emo", you owe it to yourself and your musical education to check out this album. Anything else just wouldn't be cricket eh?
EDIT: anyway, good track... I don't know how you keep coming up with these...
