A folk punk classic, and a great example of how flexible the genre is: from the beautiful and heartbreaking "Blue Jays", to the poppy fun of "Day Gaunts", to the poignat honesty of "Misanthropic Drunken Loner", to the satisfying dissonace of the instruments vocals and lyrics on "Perfuctly Disfunctional".

Amythyst reminds me so much of Tracy Chapman -- beautiful, folky, blues that exudes energy. Every song is a peek into a story her soul yearns to tell. cvltcorgi888
