5.0 out of 5 stars Great Album, Spectacular Band, August 3, 2006

By

This review is from: About-Face (Audio CD)

The Working Title is one of those band which will likely explode over the coming months. This is their first full length album, and it is a success. There is a great diversity of tracks which showcases Joel and the band's range. There is no one extraordinary track, but instead nearly every track is great. My favorite tracks include Weigh Me Down, Crash, and Under the Ground. This album has been in the works for a long time and it was worth the wait.

Although this is a great album, you really need to see them live. They have amazing energy and a kind of passion for their music you can rarely find. They are currently on tour with the goo goo dolls and counting crows which I'm sure will be good, but if you can see them in a smaller more intimate venue you'll be blown away. Earlier this year they played together with Augustana (another great new band) making for perhaps the best show I've ever been to.

This review is from: About-Face (Audio CD)

i bought this on the release date as well. this band's songwriting and maturity is really impressive. i would have to say my favorites are this is not glorious, the crash, and there is none. the disc sounds great and some production duty was handled by dave bryson (counting crows) definitely get this. one of the year's best.

5.0 out of 5 stars As good as it gets ..., June 13, 2009

This review is from: About-Face (Audio CD)

I went to see the Goo Goo Dolls back in mid July of 2006. I had no idea this band was opening for them. When they took the stage, I hardly noticed. But then something happened. They played "The Crash," and it got my attention. For the 5 or 6 songs they played, I was on the edge of my seat, transfixed. Who was this band? Who was this bare-footed lead singer with an incredibly unique vocal palette?

I went to that show with my ex-girlfriend, and even though we went to see the Goo Goo Dolls, for weeks, I wouldn't shut up about "that band that opened for them." A month later, she bought me About Face for my birthday.

I don't even know how to begin describing how incredible this album is. How it grows on you. How you think "Weigh Me Down," "The Crash" and "Nothing Less Radiant" are the meat of this album, and then you listen to the second half of the disc and "We Are Enslaved," "Under the Ground" and "Blind" knock you flat on your back. How someone can sing the lyrics, "I lost everything to one boy who said he was mine; he said he'd hold me forever" and it NOT sound cheesy. How great it feels to make a copy of this CD and give it to a friend who has no idea who The Working Title are and to hear back from them a couple weeks later that it's one of the best albums they've ever listened to.

Read no further. Just buy this album.
