Review

"Catalogue of Generous Men" by Modern Skirts really made some waves back in 2005 with its honest, emotive lyrics and melodies that stick with you. It's one of those albums that delightfully blur the lines between reflective storytelling and foot-tapping pop. With tracks that range from the energetic "NY Song" to more contemplative ones like "Seventeen Dirty Magazines" and "My Lost Soprano," you get a real sense of the band's range and ability to weave complex emotions into their music.

Critics warmed up to the album, applauding its blend of sleek pop aesthetics with a depth of feeling that might remind you of Ben Folds or even the intricate harmonies of "Pet Sounds." Though some felt it could have dug a bit deeper or taken more risks, it was clear that Modern Skirts knew how to make tracks that got people listening. The album's critical acclaim was capped off with a spot at No. 11 on Paste magazine's Top-50 Albums of 2005, which showed just how much of a mark the band made with their debut. "Catalogue of Generous Men" is an impressive start that hints at even more exciting things to come from Modern Skirts. - Courtney
