"We kind of want to make music like people write novels." - Isom Innis
This has really stuck in my mind for the last six months. Not to be cocky, but one thing that I think sets The Overcast's reviews apart from others is that I listen to songs like I read books. I listen for a number of things: not just what other bands they sound like, but what kind of message they're trying to deliver, how they choose to deliver it, and what the context of each song is in the bigger picture of the album, the band, their lives as a whole. I try to choose the words I write poetically, in a way that makes you feel the album while you read about it.
Now if I could only keep up with my own deadlines.

That is indeed what makes TH Overcast so unique...you certainly summed it up here!
I'm ashamed to say I don't always give the attention required but on the other hand some of the music (probably most of the pop n r&b dance stuff)I listen to is just for mindless enjoyment...sometimes I just love the musical textures and the lyrics are superfluous.
Novels and magazines,sometimes tabloids.
