The Bird And The Bee Sides
If anyone had any doubts as to Relient K's staying power and diversity, this very lengthy collection of remixed songs, out-takes, EP tunes and just plain oddities ought to dispel them twice over. These 26 tunes run through gentle folk, rousing alt-rock, twanging alt-country, and even whimsical ska. The fact that some songs mention other bands -- Jefferson Airplane, Blood Sweat and Tears -- helps to make this sound like a compilation of various artists on first run-through. And while "At Least We Made It This Far" sounds like Death Cab For Cutie if Ben Gibbard could only stop being such a mope, the intense numbers like "The Last, The Lost, The Least" could be by no one else. The group's highly inventive, relentlessly (and restless) brand of alt-pop is what anchors all these songs. And with each successive listen, it becomes clear that what at first sounds like some crazy grab-bag might actually be one of their best albums to date.--Mike McGonigal
