It's hard to believe that this is TYR's first release. This is as polished and professional as it gets. TYR is a throwback to the bands of yesteryear, whose talents as musicians, songwriters and performers outweighed the effects of studio mixing and enhancements. The Burning Hour is a CD for all audiences, buy it, listen to it, love it!

What a great album. Every track seems to conjure up memories of great songs from the past but with a present-day edge. Combine The Cure from the 80's and the modern-day band The Killers and you have a lot of what these songs sound like.

This one will be on my playlist for the forseeable future.

I first saw this band live at a festival show in Minneapolis in 2008 (note they're a LA band and play mostly on the West Coast), which then prompted me to buy this album. The album actually plays a little flatter than they did live, which is a little disappointing, but not totally unexpected. Had they captured the same energy in the studio that they project while on stage, this album would be a slam dunk. It's still a fun listen, with some great vocals, it's just not an album I play when trying to get pumped up (like in the gym, or before heading out on the town). I'm pretty sure it's their first full-length album, so I expect bigger things from them on album #2.
