 One of the best September 19, 2006

Decomposer is finally here! After a long wait since their first album, The Matches have followed up with an album just as good or better than E von dahl. The variety on this album is amazing, you have circus- like anthems such as "salty eyes," dance club friendly "you know me," 80s tinged "the barber's unhapiness", and a plethora of songs that are completely their own.
I do think that to some degree the tracks may be "overproduced" but not to the level that bands such as "panic! at the disco" have gone, wheras they cannot manage to play some songs live to the same degree they can on the album. The matches played the whole album between their CD release dates, and the reviews of the shows were very good! If they can pull the songs off live, i dont think the tracks are overproduced.
All in all, people who like almost any flavor of music will have something to like in this album, its a great one!
A 37 Year Old Woman Loved This CD September 23, 2006

I work with a lady, and she listens to music all day long. Now and again she gets bored.
"Can I borrow a CD?" She says.
Varied responses. She wasn't huge on My Chemical Romance or The Elms. She was okay with Damone.
This time I gave her The Matches' Decomposer. Then the next day she asked to borrow it again. And again the third day. She's 37 and likes this CD. Not that 37 year olds have bad tastes, but this CD is well-written to attract audiences of Punk, Euro-Pop, Dance Punk-Pop, New Wave, Alternative and a bunch of other genres that I can't label.
Favorite tracks Salty Eyes, Little Maggots, Sunburn versus the Rhinovirus, and The Barber's Unhappiness. Please buy and support the Matches.
Why does nobody know this band!? January 9, 2007

This CD is so good it's sick! From the first note to the last it is a masterpiece. I can not believe this band is not the biggest band in the pop, punk, hard rock, emo type scene. Highlights are Papercut skin, Clumsy heart, Lazier than the furniture, Little Maggots, I guess the list could go on to about every song really.
If you don't own this, but have made it this far as to be reading a review...BUY IT. You will love it!
OH...and their first CD is just as good.
Amazing and original CD September 20, 2006

This cd is amazing. With sounds that range from techno beats (Drive) to orchestral lead-ins (Salty Eyes) The Matches have truly created a diverse unique and all around great sounding record. Intricate layers of sound are put into every song so that every time you listen, something new jumps out at you. Along with being maddeningly catchy, the tracks on Decomposer have potential for greatness with respects to Shoot Me In The Smile and Didi. All around a great buy from a band determined to break any and all types of molds.
no sophmore slump here September 27, 2006

The Matches are back. They still have the catchy melodies and lyrics that will be stuck in your head for days, but with this album they have matured and increased their musical prowes. With many different producers working with the band, the cd offers a wide range of sounds within itself. With Shawn Harris's unique vocals backed by bouncy, catchy guitar and bass this album can appeal to several genres. Punk, pop-punk, alternative, experimental, and so on. The Matches have not only over come the sophmore album slump, they've done so with a more unique and progressive sound. I personally cannot wait to see what this band has in store for the future. No matter what I see it being amazing.
