lp includes a bonus 7" with b-sides from 'the happiest place on earth' cd single. originally released in 2002. led by bright eyes mastermind conor oberst, desaparecidos use 'read music / speak spanish' to attack public schools as halfway houses, criticize corporate culture, and refuse to pity fools and their money. oberst may be better known for his confessional songwriting and storytelling, but desaparecidos is nothing of the sort. indeed, similar vocal melodies and song structure are present but the guitars are loud and distorted, the bass is pounding, and the drums and keyboards round out this hi-energy, pop-rock band without the lyrical focus of personal relationships.
