Music reviews of Stay on My Side Tonight (Dig)

Music Review: A return to what made JEW great...besides the last track
Rating: 4 Stars

As another reviewer has already noted, this EP has a feeling similar to that of their seminal Clarity album. I wouldn't be alone in saying that Clarity seems to have been the high-water mark in JEW's career, in both instumental complexity and sheer beauty of the music. Stay on My Side Tonight seems to be a shift away from the sound that they had cultivated on Bleed American and developed on Futures, and this is for the best. The band has slowed down, and the first four tracks are permeated by a beautiful ambiance which seemed to have declined in their recent releases.

Disintegration:
Sounds similar to Cautioners but with a broader range of instuments and vocal talents. Comes in at 8 minutes, an achievement for a band of this genre (though they've had longer), and they pull it off well. I was a little hesitent about the chorus that kicks in at 4:38, but it grows on you. Also love the outro.

Closer:
Beautiful vocals and intrumentals. Similar to those on Goodbye Sky Harbor or Just Watch the Fireworks, which gives the song a sort of innocence that was absent on Futures. This is a very interesting combination, considering the lyrical content of the song is about the problem of loving someone you can't be with. The very beginning sounds like Marching Bands of Manhatten from DCFC's newest album. Really amazing, and my favorite on the EP.

Over:
The fastest song on the album. Think of Pain or Kill off of Futures, except slowed down and given better lyrics.

Half Right:
If they had ended the EP on this song, it would probably have been worth a five-star rating. Reflective lyrics ("'cause when I talk to you on the phone / well it's just like being alone"), very nice-sounding. The gratuitous cursing towards the end was rather incongruous with the rest of the song, but it only detracts a little. Again, I like the intro and outro, they work will with the song.

Drugs or Me [Styrofoam Remix] [Mix]:
Awful. This has no place on this album, or any album.

Others have pointed out that JEW seems to be combining the better parts of their new, post-Clarity sound with many of the aspects that they developed on Clarity and Static Prevails. We can only hope that they keep and expand upon this style on any further musical ventures.
