Lost A Few Battles But Won The War Review

Watashi Wa puts out an impressive debut album here. I was under the impression that I was listening to old school Blink 182 (Dude Ranch and earlier) when I first heard "Lost A Few Battles But Won the War" at my friends house. It's not that "Lost A Few Battles..." has one awesome killer song, or that it delves into uncharted musical waters, but that it's just a good album. I can listen to this thing all the way through, without skipping a single song. The melodies are catchy, and the lyrics are sincere, there's nothing fake or watered down about this CD. Watashi Wa puts out an effort of a band with twice their maturity, while still remaining their youthful edge. Although the CD may not have as fast of a tempo as some of their peers' have "Lost A Few Battles..." is still a catchy punk album. I highly reccomend it if you like: Asfyxia, MxPx, Relient K, or Yellow Card.
