Solid, unremarkable emo/indie from this release by Brandston back in 1999. There's a reason why emo didn't last that long, and I think it's because it's a genre that is easy to play poorly and very difficult to play well. Brandston have a couple of great, well thought out moments, but overall the album falls into bland territory. If you do pick it up or check it out listen to 'As you wish' for one of the highlights.
