I'm an old testament type of guy
I like my coffee black and my parole denied

"Sentimental Man"

Emergency & I is hailed as one of the best albums of the '90s all the time, and the rest of The Dismemberment Plan's catalog is really overshadowed by the greatness of that album. It's very true that Emergency & I is an awesome record, but in my opinion, Change is a little superior and never got the attention it deserved. It is also the band's last album before calling it quits on good terms, and serves as the perfect swan song for one of the best bands of all time.

There's plenty of good humor in this album, just like there is in the rest of The Dismemberment Plan's music. But Change is also more matured, and deals with heavier subjects, like politics, religion, and divorce. Before I had ever heard the music, I read a review that mentioned that Change helped the writer deal with September 11th, which I found very poignant. It was, after all, released a month after the tragedy. The music just seems to have an overall more serious tone to it, while still retaining all the quirks that make the band what it is.

I wish I could think of more things to say about Change. But I'm drawing a blank. I truly believe that these guys are one of the best bands out there, and that this is the cream of the crop. Please check it out, you won't be disappointed.
