 The third full-length album by New York’s As Tall as Lions, You Can't Take It With You, is a thoughtful, textured tour de force of soundscapes, vocal harmonies, melodies and insightful lyrics about the modern world.  The songs’ subject matter faces head-on the politics of God, love, war, and the human condition while examining everyday struggles such as anxiety, isolation, and money."  With You Can’t Take It With You, the band; vocalist-guitarist Dan Nigro, guitarist Saen Fitzgerald, bassist Julio Tavarez and drummer Cliff Sarcona, has made its smartest and most impressive album to date.             This might be in part to it being the most difficult to make. Before ATAL had made 2006’s As Tall As Lions, the group, who had formed while in high school, had finally gelled as a unit and were ready to make a mature, well polished album. Having accomplished that goal, the musicians now pushed themselves harder and vowed this time to recreate the feel of their live performance for You Can’t Take It With You. In the nearly two years it took them to write and record the disc, they changed producers three times, traveled cross country to record it (with no studio time booked) and not surprisingly nearly imploded.  “Listening to it now, and not being in the thick of it, I can respect all the trials and tribulations,” Fitzgerald says. “I was often frustrated about the length of the process, but we couldn’t have made an album like this any other way.”
