Customer Reviews

The Start Of Something
Relationship of Command is At The Drive-In's best record but this is something alot of people take for granted. In Casino/Out is also hot property but the best thing about Acrobatic Tentament is how good the songs are and how crap the quality of the recording is. The songs are echo-ey (is this a word?)and many a time Bexler is out of tune, but for some reason (and it is a bit of a cliche) it sounds superb. Relationship had a very polished edit but the rawness of Tentament shows how the band started. There are lots of clever rolling songs that despite their seeming obscurity- stick in your head. Brilliant

You wouldn't associate bland with this album
This is one of those albums that seems to grow on you the more you listen to it. After the first few songs you might think this album has been rushed, writing wise and recorded in a hurry. But the truth is that it is a mind-blowing work of genius which comes as standard with ATD-I. And as every ATD-I album, it has supreme originality which i always look for in a record. ATD-I have worked hard to produce an album which is a world apart from the majority of bland punk-rock bands around these days. This album sends chills down the back of your spine when Cedric hits those high notes with real passion, when Jim strikes his guitar strings with raw emotion and when Tony keeps a timely rhythm whilst being as complex as possible. The whole band works together to make a sound so unique and so original you wonder why they don't get the recognition they deserve. Highlights on the album include...'Star Slight','Ebroglio','Ticklish' and 'Porfirio Diaz'. Go buy this album right now...

a must for all fans
although i dont think this has the same intenity and rabid energy as relationship of command, it is still a great album. it is worth buying just to see how at the drive ins sound has developed, but it is in its self very good. Tracks such as "ticklish" and "star slight" are at the drive in at there very best, fast paced, angry and possesing a kind of fervour that no other band around today can match.
