5.0 out of 5 stars Rock is not dead..., March 12, 2010

This is truly an epic release. Haven't heard a rock album which is jaw dropping in a long while, but Broken Side of Time does just that. Since I've purchased this album, as apparently it was 1st released in late Sept, then for some reason unavailable, but again re-released March 9th, it has been in my every day rotation. It's one of those albums you pop in your disc changer, but months later you dare not take it out. While I have Alberta Cross' 7 song EP, and it's good, Broken Side of Time will rock much harder from start to finish. You won't skip a track. The singing croons a bit like Neil Young, but in an edgy darker way. Perhaps if Neil Young himself started today, this is what he'd produce in voice, but it rocks you like a Zeppelin album. In comparison, I could see these guys having similar career paths to both. Looking forward to seeing them in April when they come to Philly w/ BRMC.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Rock Album I've heard in quite some time, February 7, 2010

Bluesy rock that's really moving. This album hits a little harder as a whole than their EP, and with cleaner production on the tracks that carried over. Sometimes that's a bad thing but this album is amazing from start to finish. My personal favorite album of 2010 so far.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ryan Adams through Neil Young's wall of amps, March 13, 2010

Solid, solid album. My closest comparison would be Ryan Adams blasting through Neil Young's wall of amps after a tough day. Excellent dynamics, with brooding, mellow parts followed by sheets of distorted, feedbacking guitar. 4 stars instead of 5, as I think they can take this to another level, but this one isn't coming out of the player for a while.
