Another Great Album By A Highly Under-Rated Band! -- No Knife is an amazing rock band from San Diego whose unique style and unparalleled song writing abilities put many of today's alternative rock bands to shame. No Knife has crafted a distinct sound of their own combining alt.rock, punk and emo and this album showcases all of those styles quite nicely. If you consider yourself a decent guitar player, I challenge you to put "Fire in the City" in your cd player and try, just try to play along. This CD starts off with a bang with the amazingly catchy "Academy Flight Song", and the album takes you through many moods from the smooth melodic sounds of "The Spy" to the punk adreneline rush of "Short Term Memory". While this probably isn't their strongest overall album, it does feature some of the band's best songs. In fact, No Knife opens almost all their live shows with "Academy Flight Song" and closes with "Mission Control". If you like this album then you'll love Riot for Romance (the follow-up album). Someone please tell me, why isn't this band on a major label yet???!!! Saw Them Live...And I Had To Get The Cd.. -- I just got their new cd...and its fantastic...for some odd reason they give me the Jimmy Eat World vibe..does anyone agree? Musically Precise And Expertly Written -- "Fire in the City of Automatons" is by far one of the top discs in my collection. It's music is hard to describe and No Knife is as well. Taking a step forward from their previous releases into an almost unknown realm and unleashing a mass of harmonies and accidentals at the same time turning the songs into mini masterpieces. From "Spy"'s sullen off-beat tempos to "Short Term Memory"'s hard rocking, overall this album is worthy of many collections around the world. I recommend this to anyone who thinks emo (is bad) or anyone who loves rock and punk but is fed up with the pop scene. I thank No Knife for writing this album and all who were involved in the inspiration and recording. Good Stuff -- i saw them awhile back with brandtson in cleveland and i was very impressed. very strong cd, my favorite is 'mission control'. A Musical Masterpiece! -- i've recently been introduced to this band and am already a devoted fan. no knife creates wonderful music that is both beautiful and agressive all at once. indie, emo, call them what you want but no knife is in a category by itself. although my fav is HIT MAN DREAMS, Fire in the City of Automatons is also a brilliant album my fav song is Mission Control. if you love rock music this is definately a rock album that you need. i put no knife right up there with radiohead and the pixies as one of my favorite bands.
