Unique lineup for this group, which includes the former singer of FAR and two members of TEXAS IS THE REASON. After listening to the single Lukewarm, which impressed me very positively, I decided to buy the album: it's 2001.

As a genre, it can be defined as alternative rock; in reality, NEO follows the EMO trend that has produced many bands in America. The singer's voice is very particular, and he sings very passionately, sometimes hauntingly, and together with the guitars (simple but effective), made me appreciate the band in a special way. The best tracks: Lukewarm, Titanic, The Name, Leper Song, and especially 14-41.

Finally, I would say it's a very good alternative rock album, with more intimate and slow moments that are very evocative. I highly recommend it to lovers of the alternative, American emo-rock genre. The cover is terrible... what a pity.



Tracklist Lyrics and Videos

01   Lukewarm (04:18)

People always tell me how happy I could be,
I'm never gonna find out.
A house in the burbs and a bitchin' SUV is how I'm never gonna wind up.
I didn't know Lennon or King or Kennedy,
but i know one thing, you gotta know yr enemies.
People always tell me how happy I could be,
I'm never gonna find out.
I'm never gonna find out.

Better to suffer it than live under it.
I'm never gonna be just fine, no way.
I'm never gonna be that guy,
I'm never gonna be just fine,
but there are times i need you to remind me.
I'm never gonna be that guy.
I'm never gonna be just fine.
I never wann say that my best days are behind me.
I never want to be lukewarm again.

If being frightened means that I'll always be aware,
I'm always gonna be scared.
Everybody's got a way of working out the world,
like E is M and C squared
There's Budda and Hohammed and JC and all them,
and I'm ivri (Baruch ata HaShem).
Everybody's got a way of working out the world,
I'm never gonna find out.
I'm never gonna find out.

Better to suffer it than to live under it.
I'm never gonna be just fine, no way.
I'm never gonna be that guy,
I'm never gonna be just fine,
but there are times I need you to remind me,
I'm never gonna be that guy
I'm never gonna be just fine.
I never wanna say my best days are behind me.
I never wanna be lukewarm again

there is a summer, its all the time, for every one of us.
there is a summer, its all the time, for every one of us.
there is a summer, its all the time, for every one of us.
there is a summer, its all the time, for every one of us.

I'm never gonna be that guy,
I'm never gonna be just fine,
but there are times I need you to remind me,
I'm never gonna be that guy
I'm never gonna be just fine.
I never wanna say my best days are behind me.
I never wanna say my best days are behind me.
I never wanna say my best days are behind me.
I never wanna be lukewarm again
