Pros: "Down In Flames", woohooo! Cons: The ballads aren't quite up to their current standard.
If you are one of those closet fans of Semisonic's 1998 CD Feeli

Pros: Melodies, lyrics, vocals, music, etc...EVERYTHING. Cons: A few not-so-perfect tracks.
Well before the world found solace at the end of a night in the song Closing Time, Semisonic was already making great music. Few people knew of the already accomplished band of Minneapolis natives when their major label debut Great...

Pros: Nice guitar riffs, great bass lines. Cons: Too short.

Pros: easy to listen to and the songs are great especially "FNT" and "Brand New Baby" Cons: nada
"Great Divide" is one the best albums the band has done. I was introduced to their music in the summer of 1998 and since then I can't stop listening to their music. Some of the songs are catchy others are deep. This album in particular has many great...

Pros: Not as popular, and still awesome Cons: may not be available everywhere
So you've probably been caught humming the guitar chords to "Closing Time" enough, and you've probably worn grooves into what you thought was Semisonic's debut album, but you probably didn't know that there is a 12 track gem released years...
