the O and not 1:
is there any surprise that these kids are with dischord records? i mean, if you dig their sound, hear that from which it echoes... that's right.. theeze guys want to be fugazi so bad, not only can you hear it but you see it in their album titles. buy Fugazi instead.

perhaps the greatest indie band ever:
well thats rephrase that they are the greatest art punk band ever i believe they exceed the Indie label and deserve their own "genre" .... these guys are the friggin shizzie....everything is so awesome. When you listen to this album please do more than that... Feel it live it love it. this is perhaps some of the deepest music ever written and recorded. Good Gravy i cant express how good these guys are its absoluteley amazing

The Pinnacle of Great Music:
Q and not u is absolutely amazing. Period. Since no words can really describe then I'll leave you with a couple songs which are sure to get you hooked: 'we heart our hive' and 'a line in the sand'. A couple other q and not u songs not on this album which I would recommend are 'ten thousand animal cells' and 'so many animal calls'. GET THIS ALBUM. This is music maybe not everyone can appreciate. But any musician has got to love it. Enjoi.

Dischord still bringing punk innovation:
Although there are endless comparrisons to Fugazi, Q & Not U are altogether a different band. These guys are moody yet highly energetic. They seemlessly splice together musical patterns in such a way that keeps the listener engaged. Above and beyond labels like "Pop-punk" or "Emo-punk" these guys play a musically mature yet delightfully naive take on traditional punk stylings. With an amazing live show to back it up, Q & Not U are redifining melody-driven punk music as we know it. Their lyrics are thoughtful and challenging without being too preachy. Although many of the tracks are highly dancable (as if that's a bad thing) don't take this to be another superficial pop album. Much of it is in what could be refered to as a "Math Rock" kind of style. With drum beats and synthesizers combined in a methodical yet fluid and organic fashion. This record is chock-ful of heartfelt emotion and genuine talent. Sure, they're no Fugazi, but that might not be as terrible as people think.

Catchy:
Good record. Creativity flows on every song. They don't sound repetitive, which is something difficult to achieve for this kind of bands. Buy it and enjoy it.
