I know Tripsitter is a great band, with great harmonies, but from hearing the new sound clips I have to say that they're.. overproduced? .. too slick? .. there's something I don't like about it. Now, having said that, I've been used to the demos. I got their first CD (which Not Lame also sold) at IPO 2003. It had about 7 songs including "Transformation", "Banana Split" and "California Son".. that version of "Transformation" is probably in my top 10 of the decade so far. This new version , I can't even get into.. of course, if you've never heard the demos, you probably wouldn't notice.
