4.0 out of 5 stars Not a bad first release!, April 20, 2009

Living in Denver and knowing where this band comes from, this isn't a bad first album at all. Some of the songs could set themselves apart from others in the same genre a bit more, but their are definitely stand outs.
Girlfriends, Miss Cherry Lipgloss, Melody of you, and Zombies Ate My Neighbors are the songs that really make this album for me. Most of the lyrics are well written and insightful. Unlike the previous reviewer, I think "Zombies" is a really fun song. I don't think is has to "make sense", that's not really the point.
I totally recommend the four songs I named, but the whole album is worth a listen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Band - Great CD, April 20, 2009

I have been a fan of Single File for a long time and I was really looking forward to the release of this new CD. It was hard for me to pick a favorite, but I think I'll have to go with "Dear Meghan". I also really loved "Blue Sky Happiness", "Don't Hate", "Girlfriends", and "Mannequin Loveseat". "Miss Cherry Lipgloss" and "Melody of You" are also really good. And then there is "Zombies Ate My Neighbors", an old favorite of mine, which has been extremely popular in Colorado for quite some time. I completely disagree with the reviewer who gave this CD only 1 star and I think that people should really think before they go trashing someone's work (if you look, a lot of this person's reviews are negative). The music in "Zombies" is outstanding, and the lyrics are kind of quirky, but in a good way. What I love about this band is that they are not afraid to be different. This band is very talented and their songs are musically interesting and don't all sound the same like a lot of the other modern bands. Sloan Anderson's voice is incredible - I can only describe it as being gently mesmerizing. This is DEFINITELY A CD WORTH BUYING!!!!

First album from this local band doesn't disappoint. From track 1 to the end is easy and fun to listen to. Just saw them and they get better every time I see them. Give them a listen, you won't be sorry.
