This band is my personal favorite, and this album is very good. I have their ep's as well, and this album is more than just an addition to their short releases. The sound of 'all around' is gentler than you would expect from lookout recs, and is a refreshing change in musical style. Indeed, it is more laid back than any of the oranges prior releases, but 'all around' still maintains the orange energy. It took a little while, but this album consumed me in the end. and not just me either. as the official oranges band public outreach fan (hah!) I have been sharing the tunes from my cd player with as many friends/classmates/random people on the street as possible, and the reactions have been overwhelmingly positive. Everybody who hears this stuff falls in love with it. If these guys don't become world-wide superstars...then its the general public's fault, because this is rock and roll that hails back to the days when there WAS rock and roll. Seriously, buy this album. Buy everything by the oranges band, and then go see them live every chance you get. They are amazing on stage and off, and these are some of the nicest musicians I've ever met. There's a reason I love why I love these guys.

I downloaded this album from Emusic and have enjoyed it so much I bought a copy of the CD as well. Gave them a try at first because they are from Bawlmer up the road from where I live, however, after a few listens, I realized "hey, this is pretty catchy," and "hey, some of this lyrics are pretty fun: trying saying "its unintelligible, its inevitable." The whole album is pretty strong too.

I saw them in NYC...talked to a few of the guys...got the CD...it's awsome!!!!!
