4.0 out of 5 stars Competent, June 27, 2006

By	B. Horne (Minnesota, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I first heard this band when they opened for Jason Mraz--a rather obvious difference from opening for such bands as Simple Plan and performing on the Warped Tour. However, I think associating them with the latter two honestly does them a disservice. They are beyond their "punk" appeal, as they are a genuinely good band making genuinely good music. They have competent vocals (though on some tracks the quality in this area does seem to wane in an effort to appeal to, I believe, the punk audience) and quality instrumentals. The 'hardness' or 'roughness' of the bass and guitar are perfectly evened out by the smart smoothness of the piano and Sebastian's (and his younger brother Seth's) talented vocals. The lyrics are thoughtful and well-executed, as the attention paid to the vocals means you can actually *hear* the words that are sung (well, most of the time)! Which seems rare, especially when compared to the bands they've been grouped with.

There is real substance to this band, with an appeal that most certainly stretches beyond genres. If you're a fan of quality music, you'll be quite satisfied with these guys.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, June 16, 2006

By	MacFactor (Portsmouth, RI) - See all my reviews

Dropping Daylight brings to mind the early work of Ben Folds and Something Corporate. The piano combined with the catchy lyrics are simply amazing, and something that isn't heard too often. Though this CD just came out, I find myself with the whole disk on repeat. There isn't a song that I don't like. "Waiting through the Afternoon" single-handidly makes the album. All of the other songs simply heighten the overall experience.

Even though I knew about the band almost two years ago and listenend to their work as they released it, I am still blown away by the cd. Instead of going through the album song-by-song as many reviews do, I am simply going to say, just buy this album. I have a rather large collection (over 300) spanning every genre, and this is one of my favorite albums. This CD is simply...amazing

5.0 out of 5 stars Long time ago..., April 11, 2007

By	John M. Schneider (St. Cloud, MN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I first heard Dropping Daylight about 4 and 1/2 years ago when they were known as Sue Generis. They played in a small coffee shop in St. Cloud, MN. They are an unbelieveable band to see live. There new album Brace Yourself is an amazing album and it was nice to see them throw in some of there old songs from there first CD Back To Nowhere in the album.
