American Music Club’s breakthrough fifth album earned singer/songwriter Mark Eitzel Songwriter of the Year cred from Rolling Stone—and from the soulful strides of “Why Won’t You Stay” to the mountainous guitars on dreamy fan-favorite “Sick of Food,” he proved himself a formidable troubadour. The band distilled their big sound into a consistent blend of New Wave and rock here, especially on songs like the catchy, propulsive “The Dead Part of You,” which muster equal parts Springsteen, The Cure, and Slowdive.
