Just Like the Fambly Cat (CD)
Spacey atmospherics, equal parts guitar and synth, and perfect pop songs seamlessly congeal into a potent distillation of the Grandaddy sound. Wonderfully ambitious, endlessly melodic, and surprisingly all encompassing, it's like a "Greatest Hits" made up entirely of brand new songs.
"The best Grandaddy record thus far... the record pounces upon teary piano bridges, epic electronic washes, 'Sumday' style narratives, dissonant guitar-driven rockers, and six-plus minute prog-pop opuses" - Filter.

| Though it's apparently their last album, this was the first Grandaddy CD I've purchased. It's a little generic sounding, but there a few standout songs like "Disconnecty" and especiallly "Elevate Myself" that are quite catchy. I wouldn't consider it a must-have, but it's very listenable. | |

| Sometimes when a band knows it is about to depart from the world of music, their last album turns out to be a bit disappointing. The lyrics seem a bit trite for Jason Lytle standards, and the songs are mostly filler. What is sad is that I enjoy the dumb intro track where the little kid keeps asking "What happened to the Family cat?" over and over, more than I did the actual songs. What happened to Grandaddy's songwriting? | |

| Filter is always wrong.
Being unique and paving new roads is good. However, it should not be done on a ''farewell'' record. Simply put, Cat and Todd do not deserve the Grandaddy name etched upon their covers. They aren't even Grandaddy. At least this makes the ''good-bye'' easier. | |
