“Achilles' Heel,” (2004) PEDRO THE LION's fifth album, is a hallmark for the band, a culmination of their previous work, and -- upon its release -- their best album to date. Breaking down the linear narratives of “The Only Reason I Feel Secure” and “Control” into broader concepts and themes that rely far less on storytelling and more on topical personal politics turns out to be a winning approach. Walking through the emotional fray of America's suburban ennui, DAVID BAZAN and company have built a beautiful and wavering mix of indie rock and country-folk. With some of the best songs of the band's career -- the classic, simple, country-tinged "Foregone Conclusions" and the lush, soaring "The Fleecing," for example. BAZAN is a master of this stuff, delving through the routine and ordinary for every drop of melancholy and poetry.
