I found Dovetail Joint's OO1 in the New Releases bin at a Circuit City. I listened to the opening song "Beautiful" and felt a instant adrenaline rush. I bought the CD and took it home in anticipation. I didn't get what I expected. I expected a band with pretty good guitar riffs and catchy hooks. What I got was a band with Depth and perception. It sounded simple, yet if I LISTENED CAREFULLY, I could here a certain sureness in their music. Let's just say, that when I heard 001, I fully believed these guys were making the best music nobody has heard yet. From the Songwriting in "level on the inside", to the almost lamentful "He we are" to the change ups in "lullaby" I was amazed at the use of sound and texture to make each song different, yet the whole album flowed rather cleanly and evenly. All in all I would tell anyone to buy this album if they like music of any kind. Be it pop, rock, metal, emo, or whatever, Dovetail Joint's 001 Lies about it's simplicity on the surface and let's you into it's world of melody and meaning if you LISTEN CAREFULLY.

I own hundreds of CDs and listen to all kinds of music. Lately, there hasn't been anything great as far as new music goes. When I first heard this CD, I was floored instantly. I can't remember the last time I heard something new that made me feel this way. But then I thought "ok, the first song is their strong one, the rest of the album probably isn't good". Well, the second song rocked. Then the third song came on and it rocked even more (one of my favorites). I listened to this disc over and over.

Almost two years later as I'm going through my discs deciding what to listen to, I still find myself grabbing Dovetail Joint's 001. For anyone who likes "rock solid rock", this album is for you. You won't be disappointed.

This band is excellent....the lyrics aren't the best I've ever heard but the way guitar is played is very cool...when distorsion come up, well, I begin to jump and nobody can stop me...my favourite songs are "So graciously said" and "Level on the inside"...check it out and start jumping with me..

After listening to the single "Level on the Inside" in October on my local radio station I was excited to finally receive Dovetail Joint's 001 on January 26th. The CD is slightly above average, and I was slightly dissapointed. It opens up with three straight "single worthy" tunes,"Beautiful", "Level on the Inside", and "So Graciously Said". These three are catchy and typical of today's modern rock stations. The rest of the album has only a few bright spots like "Oh My God" and the melodic "Except When You're Late". The problem with this album is that it is very one dimensional and after a while the constant guitar riffs and pop rock refrains get mixed around in your head and you can't tell the difference between them. The lyrics have little denseness and overall quality, they want to be deep and meaningful and express feelings of superficiality and spirituality but fall short in the process. In general, if you are looking for something to hum along and rock out to you probably will be pleased but if you are looking for anything groundbreaking or thought-provoking take a pass on this one.

This band is awesome, but nobody has heard of them. The only recognition they get is the radio single "Level on the Inside." Their songs are beautifully written and catchy, and honestly, I don't know why they aren't topping sales charts with this masterpiece, 001.

Well, if it's any indication of how good this band really is, I've had this CD for a pretty long time and it's one of the few that I listen to daily! I bought it after hearing "Level On The Inside", and it is my favorite CD from one of the best bands out there! My favorite tracks are Beautiful, Here We Are, and This Is My Home -- but there's so many good ones to pick from, I have trouble deciding! This CD is a must-have!

I live in Chicago, so when I first heard Dovetail Joint on the radio last year, I was thrilled to hear such a talented band from my hometown. I bought a local compiliation just because of these guys. I bought their EP, Level, and I was blown away by their music. I couldn't wait until 001 came out. When it hit shelves, I instantly bought it. That cd is always in my DiscMan. It is one of the best cds I have ever heard. From Level on the Inside to Beautiful to So Graciously Said, this album kicks. And those are just the first 3 songs!! So I give this album 5 stars and wish my fellow Chicagoans all the luck in the world! Peace.

Great CD and worth buying just for their one well received song - Level on the inside

I think it was the song I kept hearing on the radio "Level on the inside", that made me want to go buy this CD. Turns out all the songs were just as good. I also got a chance to see the band live in Milwaukee a few years back. Though I got a little distracted by the fugly tanned guy smoking pot in front of me. He had this little patch of hair/fur on his back that made me think MUTANT KEWL DUDE. Anyways, this is one of my top 10 favorite bands of all time & top 10 CD's of all time. Thanks.
