I've heard that album like once, but I'm assuming those versions are either lame or the exact same thing as the album and therefore pointless. But the point of Jar of Flies isn't that they quieted down and got more emotional or whatever, they had a pre-existing talent for that kind of song and explored it.

I agree, Jar of Flies is quite pointless.

I guess you have a point there.

I've never heard "Bad Apple", but "Rotten Apple" is probably AiC's best song.

I prefer their style on songs like "Those Skeletons," "Mad Stool", or "Another Time".

i really can’t get behind grunge for the most part but AiC had some solid releases. pretty simple in achieving it’s goal, as it’s catchy and full of awesome riffs. doesn’t offer much more than that, doesn’t even really try to. probably a 7 but my childhood memories bump it up a point.

Doctors recommend one to two solid releases per day.
