5.0 out of 5 stars Best CD I have purchased in years..., August 1, 2008

This debut from Above The Golden State is amazing. I liked it right away, but every time I listen to it I love it more. Every song is great and the musical variety throughout makes this CD a musical adventure. It is hard to pick my favorites because they are all great for different reasons. However, if I was given only two choices I would have to select; "The Haunting" and "Streets". If you are considering purchasing this CD, I encourage you, you will not be disappointed. You will enjoy the varitety of instruments, including clarinet and cello or violin. Michael Watson has a unique voice and the variety of backup vocals are a perfect touch. I can't say enough about this debut, I can't wait to hear more from this band!

This one has the repeat factor. I only get inspired a couple of times a year to write a review about a group that I just discovered and this one does that for sure! I've only been listening for 24 hours and I can't get enough. A bit of Beatles meets Brandon Heath meets Leeland meets MercyMe meets Switchfoot(the slower Jon Foreman stuff)?
Very creative melodies, lyrics and composition. Produced very well. Favorites(at least in the first 24hrs) are The Streets, Love, The Sound of Your Name.
Keep an eye on this group!

I saw the video to "Sound of your name" on the Gospel music channel and was hooked right away. This is quality work that deserves to be heard by the masses. Every song on the disc is thoughtful, well written and pleasing to listen to. We should be hearing alot more about this group in the future--I hope.
