Story Like a Scar is the fifth album by The New Amsterdams released on March 21, 2006 on Vagrant Records.

All tracks are written by The New Amsterdams"However, on an album level, the songs don't always flow with one another and by the end, Story Like a Scar just seems a bit unfinished.

In this line-up it makes pretty nicely arranged folk songs [...] People sit around the campfire, sway and clap their hands.

And in addition there are still those unmistakable Pryor melodies like in "Beautiful mistake" or "Turn out the lights" [...] When they hit, and they don't always do, they really do.

Maybe it's just this simplicity that catapults "Story like a scar" back onto the good side.
