Reviews Customer Reviews for Orange Rhyming Dictionary      Perfect in every way.      Rating:      This is erudite, poetic rock of the highest calibre. Emotional but not sensitive or twee. It's well constructed but never seems forced. Lyrically, it's pure poetry shorn of all excess. Not a word is wasted. When Jets to Brazil rock it's infectious (The anti authoritarian 'Morning New Disease') When they get dark it's utterly heartbreaking (The study of suicide on 'Conrad' is chilling, "She checks in, in dwindling daylight. A week up front, asks not to be bothered. The registry will show her mothers name.") On 'Sea Anemone' it's marriage break up. On 'King Medicine' it's drugs. They save the best for last, the redemptive and uplifting 'Sweet Avenue.' A song of such beauty and perfection the world stops when it comes on. "Tasting you in rain i, walk down to the train, trying not to look down. This day could some day be, an anniversary, everything is light and sound." Yes, Jets to Brazil are an Emo band... But they are distincly 'old-school' Emo: emotional, erudite and balanced rather than emotional, attention-seeking and sullen. Jets to Brazil are an Emo band in the same way that Propaghandi are pop punk. Please, do yourself a favour and investigate this great album.     Customer Reviews for Orange Rhyming Dictionary Cd      Jetbreaker      Rating:      Blake Schwarzenbach was basically the sole creative force behind both Jawbreaker and JTB, so the comparisons are basically "early" Blake vs. "later" Blake. He has produced great-sounding records with both bands. The more I listen to this guy, the higher he moves up in my personal ranking of the all-time great artists. His songs come in many different forms, his lyrics range from abstract to so simple that they're almost corny, but totally sincere. I can't get it out of my car's six CD changer after over a year. Buy it.
