5.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps the Greatest CD I Own, April 11, 2004

By	Kevin Phillips "kpizzle" (Arlington, VA) - See all my reviews

I got this CD in August of 2003, and I don't think I took it out of my car CD player untill about October. The songs on this CD are so increadibly emotional and dramatic that I could listen to this CD, and this CD only, for months and months without ever getting borred. And the fact that he plays all the instruments by himself, and hes so young, makes it all the better. When I discovered The Rocket Summer, I immediately got my friends to buy the CD as well, and all of them are now as great of fans as I am. BUY IT!

5.0 out of 5 stars an original band...i mean man, June 2, 2003

By	cody (Dallas, TX USA) - See all my reviews

I just got a chance to see The Rocket Summer live two nights ago and the experience was new, exciting, and an enjoyable escape from the punk/alternative doldrums. The lyrics are catchy and uplifting while the rhythms are simple but have good variety and style. However, I will always love listening to this cd and seeing the live shows mostly because Bryce Avary is the most talented and happy musician I've ever seen. Buy it as soon as you can.

5.0 out of 5 stars Feel-Good album of the century!, May 25, 2005

By	Michael Niemann (St. Augustine, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I can't believe that I haven't reviewed this album sooner, but I must save the viewers from the bad reviews!!!

This albums is fun, catchy, and happy music in a punk world where depressing and upsetting emo reigns supreme. Avery has the capabilities, the voice, and the style of a typical emo band, but he delivers something that is truly needed these days. His songs, are simple, up-beat, and fun, and they make you feel good. He exposes love in its infancy for what it truly is, and what it truly should be. Before the heartbreak and complacency, love is fun, crushes are real, and life is good. This is what "Calendar Days" is all about.

For those who would rather listen to a singer who whines about his love life, hoping fans will commiserate (I would know, I'm guilty of it too) they may find The Rocket Summer immature and unbearable. But for those who are not so far removed from the happier moments of their life, where things seem to pick up and come together, then this album is for you!
