Side One contains seven very short, very condensed songs, and they are all brilliant. The opening and closing instrumentals are upbeat electronica disco and evocative sound adventure, respectively. The tracks in the middle pulse with emotional paranoia; "Breaking Glass" is a short and knife sharp ode to panic attacks , "What In The World" predicts "glitch" music twenty years beforehand, "Always Crashing In The Same Car" and "Be My Wife" are aching declarations of pain and longing.
And everything boogies. The backbeat on some of these songs dares you to keep your feet still. You just gotta groove with it.
Now that I've built it up to the point where you'll never like the album as much as I do, here are the songs:
Speed of Life
Breaking Glass
What In The World
Sound & Vision
Always Crashing In The Same Car (ignore the video for this one)
Be My Wife (the actual music video)
A New Career In A New Town
