Rated 4/5
Review by scoundrel Feb 16, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)
Styrofoam's debut, THE POINT MISSER, is a small album, but is full of melody and variation. The short, cutesy melody of "The Sign Only Points One Way" gives way to the longer, heavier and harsher "Heaven Is Burning, Pt. 1." The thick layers on "Words Never Spoken" allow for a density of feeling to ooze through, while "Future Debt Collector" is much simpler in structure. "It Was the Earth He Was Standing on That Was Moving" carries a melancholy quality to the deconstructed vocal elements, underlaid by a resonant drum hit, while "Dead Air" has a glacial stateliness to it. Even if you miss the point, you can't miss the music here.
