This came out in 2004 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
Finally, a band that fans of Rush, The Cure and Fugazi can agree on.
Nashville’s Scatter The Ashes seamlessly, effortlessly and remarkably gene-splice searing guitars, complex time signatures, moody atmospheres and high-wire vocals into a compelling hybrid that is simultaneously familiar and utterly individual. Granted, right now they’re still sifting the ashes of what’s come before them. But give them a couple of years and albums, and they have the potential to blaze a trail others will be hard-pressed to follow.
