This CD is a little different from the typical Deep Elm Records sound that permeates many of their CDs. In any case, Lewis is an oddity, an indie-rock band in a time when emo has thoroughly permeated the airwaves. Contemplative lyrics are placed alongside modifications of a general formula, whick leads up to the ultimate track, both in the sense that it is the last track and that it is also the best. Each track changes the sound in some small way, as to alleviate any possible boredom and to liken the CD to a large family � each song is a sibling, all coming from the same gene pool but are different in a number of ways. What shine the opening track, "The Cruelest Month" may have on it is completely worn off by the aforementioned title track. Overall, the CD is pretty solid, with the only weaknesses coming at the beginning of the CD, mainly with the first song. Specifically, it is the polish of the song that makes it seems a little suspect, as everything about the track seems a little more radio-friendly, even to the sedate Thom Yorke-styled vocals. Don�t let my condemnation of one song on a disc full of strong songs sour the entire review, as the ever-changing tempos and melodies of "Out of Sync" more than make up for the first track.
