The Dismemberment Plan's third album, from Travis Morrison's Washington, D.C., band, made in 1998 with the producers J. Robbins and Chad Clark for Interscope, which dropped the band before it came out; their old label, DeSoto, released it. Keyboards, samples and lurching rhythms taken from soul, hip-hop and post-punk carry Morrison's songs about loneliness, city life and growing up, among them "What Do You Want Me to Say?", "The City", "Spider in the Snow" and "You Are Invited".
