Not my favorite

Well, I will say that I don't really enjoy listening to this band much. They seem to mainstream for me (not to be rude). Try to created more of an indy sounding music.

Whiney voice just to much to deal with

The vocals on all the tracks were just too grating for me to embrace. While I did manage to listen to a number of times I found it painful to do.

Very average content

It seems to just be missing some things that separate average music from good tunes

smaller steps, better music

overall i thought this was not a bad effort. however, with improved lyrics, better production, and a lighter sound, i think this could be great music.

getting better...

Their sound reminds me of a lot of other alternative/pop bands, which isn't a bad thing at all. Nothing entirely unique to their music, yet still good to listen to on a shuffled mix. Listening to the entire album in its entirety got kind of tiring and boring, but I think if I put the whole thing into my iTunes folder and shuffled it up with the rest of my music, I'd definitely enjoy it more.

average...

decent mix of indie rock/pop but the album doesn't really seem all that attractive to me...just a few good songs.

Familiar, but good

Almost every song on this selection sounds like some other band or something that I've heard before. All of the bands/artists that I'm reminded of are all ones that I like or wouldn't mind listening to though, which is good :). Coldplay, Third Eye Blind, Rhett Miller/Old 97s are some of the bands I hear in this music. Hallelujah definitely got annoying toward the ending of the song and my boyfriend actually made me switch songs because it got quite annoying and repetitive, though it started out pretty good. While I really couldn't find a track I hated on this album, I don't know that it's one I would return to specifically, in a random shuffle everything would be great though. There isn't much special about it; like I said almost every song sounds like I've heard it somewhere before.

Small Steps

I enjoyed this preview. It was an interesting mix and something very unique.

Alright, I suppose

Enjoyed about half of the tracks. Some were a bit 'harsh' for me but others had an ambience that suited my taste.

Has potential

I didn't get an immediate reaction to this album, it was ok but I didn't fall in love with it. Oh No is a great start and Hallelujah is the only song I liked instantly. The lyrics are interesting to listen to and made me want to listen at least a few more times just so i could listen to them properly. What I really didn't like though was the singer's tendency to shout-scream his lyrics instead of singing them. He obviously has agreat voice, we hear it quite a lot in the songs, but then most songs get overpowered by his shouting and it really didn't let me enjoy the album. It'd be interesting to heat them live though, his shouting tendency might actually be more suitable to a live show than an album.
