Jawbox Jawbreaker - Air Waves Dream With Or Without U 2
Review by Justin van Rooyen
The album "Air Waves Dream With Or Without U 2" by Jawbox Jawbreaker is a must-listen for fans of alternative rock. The band's unique sound and powerful lyrics make this album stand out from the rest.
The album opens with the track "68", which sets the tone for the rest of the album with its driving beat and catchy guitar riffs. From there, the listener is taken on a journey through a range of emotions, from the introspective "Low Strung" to the anthemic "Savory".
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Static", which features a haunting melody and poignant lyrics about the struggles of modern life. Another highlight is "Cooling Card", which showcases the band's ability to blend punk and indie rock influences into a seamless whole.

Notes
- This is the 3rd pressing with a mustard/black cover, 500 pressed.
- The Jawbox song is a Buzzcocks cover. The Jawbreaker song is a combination of U2's "Sunday Bloody Sunday", The Misfits' "Skulls" and the Vapors' "Turning Japanese".
- "Air Wave Dreams" was re-released on Jawbox's "My Scrap Book Of Fatal Accidents" CD collection.
- "With Or Without U-2" was reissued on Jawbreaker's "Etc." collection. In the liner notes for that album, band members claimed that in light of Negativland's then recent legal troubles with SST Records and Island Records over their U2 parody single, Todd from Selfless intentionally added a dash between U and 2 to avoid similar problems.

No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women.
No sin, no fun, no you, no wonder it's dark.
Everyone avoids me is a total stranger.
Everyone treats me like a psyched lone ranger.
Everyone.
