5.0 out of 5 stars this...., December 2, 2001

...is easily one of the most inspirational, powerful, and intelligent albums ever recorded. this album has helped me through depression. the words are so painstakingly true and at the same time optimistic. 'the nautical mile' almost made me cry the first time i heard it. aside from the lyrics, the broadways played the best structered punk i've ever heard, with a slight emo touch to it. chris, brendan, and dan's voices may not be perfect, but work perfectly together. i wish they could've stayed around longer and left more than this and 'broken van.' if you do not own this album, i suggest you stop whatever you doing and order it now.

Brilliant album.
One of the only socio-political punk bands with brains.


Fans of Leftover Crack, Anti-Flag need not listen.

This review is from: Broken Star (Audio CD)

Few albums have the ability to make people feel. Sure some of those emo albums appeal to depressed High Schoolers, but just doesn't seem to hit on the same level as Broken Star. This is one of the only albums to ever put a tear in my eye (and I didn't even feel that depressed). There is so much true emotion in this that you can't even call it emo or whatever, they don't even put the message first, it rocks as well. I remeber the first time I heard Red Line, it was just such a great song and I have felt that way to the T at times. This album appeals to everyone all areas of life are covered on this from love to politics to just living life and finding meaning. Then there is the music, it just seems to be sown into the singing and the meaning (rhymes, yes I am that good). The structure of each song is just so accomadating to the lyrics and the intontation. There are so many things in this album that just makes me feel, you know actually feel what they are saying. How did they have the ability to get me to hear them out? I could always care less about what a band has to say, I just care about them rocking me. I never really searched for a band that would mean something beyond the music, beyond the sound. I have learned a lot from this cd, I have seen things diffrent and I have learned a lot. Though it's ashamed that the bands to come from this just aren't up to snuff, it is good enough that they put this amazing album out. I've never ever heard a more passionate album ever.
