Simply put, this album rocks.

Their second album is quite a bit different than their first... The extra time spent in the studio, and the expertise they had helping them, really shows off here in a great blend of sounds and styles. While it still shows the same great talent and ability as the first album, this entire album seems to flow much better. Give it a listen when you've got time to listen to the whole thing at once -- you will see what I mean...

These guys are really going to blow up very soon... this album is proof. Anyone who appreciates great music will enjoy this album.

--------------------------------

Life - beginning of a recurring jam throughout album -- really ties it together, IMO.

All This Everything 1 - very nice song, and Caroline Pond's sit-in studio work sounds great here...

All This Everything 2 - rockin instrumental, love it.

53 More Things... - Watch out for the keys work here, excellent.

Andromeda - short and sweet, but a nice message - "It can save you!"

Long Past Settled In - one of my favorites, a true rock and roll song, but very meaningful

Crockett & Tubbs - another favorite, instrumental... didn't think they'd be able to capture the live feeling in the studio, but they did a great job here

The Universe - second part of Life, The Universe, And Everything - this sort of brings you back down from the intensity they've already captured on the album, gets you ready for the rest...

Stealy Man - hands down, my favorite PGroove song... Brock uses his baritone in this song, and it sounds GREAT... I love the way he breaks it down -- this song has sort of a darker sound to it than others on the album. The lyrics are pretty simple, but very effective, I think.

Left To Drifting - didn't really notice this song much at first, but like it a lot now. Another one that is great live, and the album does a wonderful job of bringing that into the studio.

Scooter - not one of my favorites, but a bouncy, catchy tune nonetheless.

Gone Round the Twist - Mark Day, what can I say? You rock dude! "I'm just a little man in your speaker" - don't let the "electronica" sound in this one turn ya away - Occam's is next!

Occam's Blazer - Wow. Amazing instrumental tune. The steel work in this tune blows me away. Again, I love hearing this tune live, and again I think they did a magnificent job of translating that to the studio.

For Now Forget - great lyrical work on this one. Rather short, catchy tune that can melt your troubles away.

And Everything - third part of recurring jam. really ties it all together, and is a great closer to a great album.

Take my word for it - this album is incredible. You'll thank me later, when you're hooked -- I'll see ya at a show!

This album is fantastic. Not to mention this band rocks serious face!!! This as well as their first album have become staples in my everyday musical listening. The musicianship and on-stage chemistry is unparalleled by any current quartet. You can tell these are four classically trained musicians that apply their skills to song-writing and jamming that enhance and blend their sound in a unique way. If you like dancing at a live show or even by yourself in your living room, get this album!!!

This band is one of the most amazing that I've ever seen live. I went to a concert having no idea who they were or anything, but after the first couple of songs i automatically fell in love with them. Having heard them live, this cd was amazing and the only reason anyone should have for not liking the cd is not having heard them live. if you get the chance you should go.

the bartender at the concert was saying that although he normally hated all the "hippie jam-bands" that came through, that this was the only one he liked and he liked them a whole lot at that.

Yes, I agree, you do have to see them live to REALLY appreciate them. However, I know people that have fallen in love with their sound alone. I saw them in Charlotte, NC in early 2003 at a tiny venue & they were one of the best bands I've seen live (& I've seen a lot)! These guys know real music & they can totally jam together! See them live & you will undoubtedly appreciate them. If you can't see them live, they may be an acquired taste.

Ok, After listening to their album "Sweet Oblivion" like 20+ times I was ready to hear some more of these guys and boy was I not dissappointed. It did take a few times through listening to it to appreciate it, but I love it as much as Sweet Oblivion.

I love P-groove... saw them in Athens, GA recently at the Georgia Theater and decided I was more than due for purchasing an album of theirs. It was a great investment -even if I already had a bunch of the songs on my computer. It feels good to buy a CD and like the entire thing. All This Everything is an incredibly happy mind and body high the whole way through.

here is a Jam band that pulls out of the mold and goes more progressive... headed in a direction closer to that of King Crimson or Pink Floyd, but still maintaining a feel that many Phish fans can grasp on to... great album, but it does very little justice for what they are like live, as they have a different live sound.

This is a great album from start to finish. They were really into a "Groove" on this well recorded release. It's just too bad that their newest release of 2007 didn't follow up this excellence, as they went instead with an overly written, shorter cuts, which really all sound the same. Guys go back to your roots. Your first 2 albums were excellent... and do remember that "All Is Everything".

I should have paid closer attention to bat hunters review since he gave it away when he said; "It took me listening to this disc about 5 times before I could really start enjoying it all the way through." Heck, I was lucky to make it all the way through the first time! This release is extremely repetitive and simplistic with lame lyrics and just plain bad singing. Now, if you enjoy bad singing with real musicianship, then I highly recommend The String Cheese Incident.

While I mean no offense to anyone, this band comes no where close to the direction of King Crimson or Pink Floyd.

As a former radio DJ who specialized in jazz/rock fusion and jam bands and appreciates great music and musicianship, I find this release has absolutely no sustenance to sink your teeth in to and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

With a name like Perpetual Groove, I expected a lot more. A jam band they are not.
