5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Incredible, October 28, 2009

This review is from: Birds & Cages [+digital booklet] (MP3 Download)
This album is nothing short of absolutely amazing and maybe one of my best musical purchases in years. I found "All the Houses Look the Same" by accident and immediately fell in love with this group. "Birds & Cages" sealed the deal for Deas Vail being one of my all time favorites. I can't give this album enough stars. The vocals and lyrics are outstanding. What gets me most is the beautiful harmony in the vocals between the lead singer and the female band member which makes an appearance in many of the songs. The songs are also much more dynamic and complex than Houses.

A must have!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best album of the year, if not the decade, December 9, 2009
This review is from: Birds & Cages [+digital booklet] (MP3 Download)
I've been a huge fan of Deas Vail since discovering them nearly 2 years ago. The best way to describe them would be this: indie pop-infused rock with soaring and haunting melodies sung by one of the best vocalists in rock. Having seen them three times in concert, I can say that they're far better live than most bands are in the studio with the benefit of editing, autotune, etc.

The new album is, hands down, one of the best albums I've ever bought, let alone in 2009. They've taken their music to a new level. The tunes are full of earworms (tunes you can't out of your head). As one blogger put it, "Deas Vail is one of the few bands who can take pop/rock music and force the listener to apply 'beautiful' to it as an adjective." If that sounds appealing to you, "Birds and Cages" should be the first thing you purchase.

Put it this way: I'm a huge U2 fan, but on every one of their albums, I usually end up skipping past at least half the songs. Not with Deas Vail. Deas Vail has made an album where every single song is something that 99% of other bands can never match.

As for the individual members: Wes Blaylock (the lead singer) is just as jaw-dropping with his soaring vocal pyrotechnics, and his wife Laura (keyboardist) is featured more often in some very lovely vocal duos. Andy Moore (guitar) is constantly pushing the envelope with different sounds and effects. Kelsey Harelson's drumming rarely just keeps a steady beat; instead, he manages, in song after song, to use the offbeats in a way that propels the music forward and gives it a sense of mission and urgency. Finally, Justin Froning's energetic bass playing rounds out the band nicely.

5.0 out of 5 stars Toe-tapping good, March 12, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Birds & Cages [+digital booklet] (MP3 Download)
I saw these guys in concert before I knew them. They're excellent, but I didn't think of buying the album until I saw this uh-mazing deal. $2 for all this? It's a no-brainer. My personal favorites are "Excuses," "The Leaper," and "Dance In Perfect Time."
