What if I told you that I found a band that sounds almost exactly like old Weezer, but more lo-fi and prone to writing about heartbreak? Doesn't that sound great!? Well there is one catch, it only lasts a whopping twelve minutes... yep, in fact, in the process of writing this review, I'll probably end of listening to this LP at least twice in its entirety.
On one hand, that doesn't exactly mean that you'll be getting the best value if you decide to purchase this album, however, the tracks that are here may actually convince you otherwise. Because, even though it is so short Dissed and Dismissed is an undeniably fun record that has enough catchy melodies and harmonized guitar solos to make any fan of early nineties guitar rock giddy.
Though the tracks themselves never reach the 2-minute mark, there are actually a lot of standout moments on this LP. For instance, the opener with its glorious guitar solo toward the end of its 48 second run time, and the following track "Change My Ways" which is so catchy it may be my favorite song on the entire album.
"W.B.P" is a pretty nice slower moment on the album, and the ironically titled "Sick Ass Riff" is a decent change of pace with its acoustic guitar. Really, I could talk about any of these tracks an pick out a moment that I enjoyed, but that is both a blessing and a curse because for all the things I like about these tracks, they usually don't stick around long enough to do anything else. Which if you're short on time, or have a short attention span could potentially be a good reason for you to love this album. For me, I had a good time, but can't really say this LP is great simply because I believe that if the tracks were more fleshed out, they would leave an even bigger impact.
7.3/10
