Short intro

Hearts of Oak is the third studio album by American indie rock band Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, released on February 11, 2003 by Lookout Records. A music video was filmed for the single Where Have All the Rude Boys Gone. It was ranked 59th by the online magazine Pitchfork on the list of the 200 albums of the decade. Hearts of Oak garnered universal acclaim from music critics highlighting Leo's musicianship in terms of lyrical content, instrumentation and vocal performance. At Metacritic, which. Hearts of Oak is just as exciting and powerful as The Tyranny of Distance. Lyrically dense and literate, Leo tells a story like no one since Phil Lynott in the glory days of Thin Lizzy or maybe Kevin Rowland at the height of Dexy's peak. The Pharmacists' sound has elements of punk, mod, Irish folk, agit-funk, dub, and power pop played with controlled fury and topped by Leo's amazingly elastic vocals. Ted Leo & The Pharmacists. Hearts of Oak. Album 2012 13 Songs. The Ballad of the Sin Eather. 5: Summary: On this release, Ted Leo matures as a musician and songwriter and delivers his coming out extravaganza, full of infectious melodies and great lines. Before I can describe the band, this album, or anything to do with why I'm writing this, something must be understood: While the comic presented depicts a fictional circumstance and has nothing at all to do with Hearts of Oak, it must be known that the comic gets the point across that Ted Leo really rocks, like really. This ability to rock can be viewed as a good or bad. It was recorded September 6-12 and 16-20, 2002, at the Rare Book Room, Brooklyn, New York. It was mastered October 4, 2002.

Hearts of Oak opens with the intro like Building Skyscrapers. that leads right into one of the catchiest songs on the album, and I believe the first single, Where Have All the Rude Boys Gone It serves as possibly the best example of how catchy his songs can be. This album is full of energy with loud drums and bright guitars, all serving as a backdrop for Ted's amazing voice. Ted and Co. serve up the best album to come outta Jersey since Slippery When Wet. Ted Leo and the Pharmacists 2001 full-length The Tyranny of Distance had the scope and magnitude of a genuine epic, its songs a blend of giddy power-pop hooks and soaring grandeur on tracks such as Biomusicology and Timorous Me. But Hearts of Oak takes that a step further. From the beginning, Hearts of Oak has the makings of a big statement. Building Skyscrapers in the Basement starts off with some melancholy mysticism, pulling the listener in before going full blast with the anthemic Where Have All the Rude Boys Gone
