Billboard:
ARTIST: PINBACK
ALBUM: AUTUMN OF THE SERAPHS (Touch & Go Records)
The unassuming lads in Pinback earned some TV airtime and commercial radio airplay for songs from 2004's masterwork "Summer in Abaddon," but there are no overt lunges for the mainstream on their fourth full-length. If anything, save for the frenetic opener "From Nothing to Nowhere," "Autumn" is noticeably less immediate than its predecessor. But it's also less inward-looking, particularly on the downright jolly "Good to Sea," a perfect blend of vintage synth beeps, sturdy basslines and rhythmic guitar figures, and the "Message in a Bottle"-style riff and gleeful lyrics of "Blue Harvest." Several songs near the end go on too long, content to keep repeating riffs. Still, when "Autumn" is on point, it offers some of Pinback's best tunes yet.

I thought the release date was 9/11? Anyway, this should have a nice debut on the BB200, as sales are even worse today than they were when SIA debuted at #196 in 2004. A favorable review: www.themusicnazi.com/?p=666
