5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent further progression for Travis Meeks!, April 27, 2006

It is a crying shame that this album sold a mere 90,000 copies. People have no clue that he was still around creating some of the best music you are going to hear. He explores more eastern avenues which he had begun in II and he continues his orchestration on masterpieces like Dancing With the Wind. Dirty Road and Die born are beautiful to say the least. Words and Fighing with my clay are serviceable songs, but don't do much for me. It is another excellent album for Travis Meeks and whoever is in his company at the present time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Days of the New "Red" Album, October 9, 2001

With so many music circulating in the industry right now, you could imagine there is a lot you havent heard. Days of the New are one of those bands that doesn't get the credit they deserve. They have established a unique and original sound that changes with every song and album. With such a display of musicianship, it's hard to imagine why they aren't being talked about by everyone. The new "Red" album is by far, one of the best music to come out of the industry in ahwile. It brings a blend of many aspects of music such as acoustic and electric rock, classical and even a sense of the mystic. From the first track Hang on to This to the last, Dancing with the Wind, is quite a road less traveled to those who choose to listen to the "popular" music dominating record sales. Such tracks as Fighting with Clay, Best of Life, Words and Hang on to This give us an explosive look at Travis Meeks unchained rock vocals and adreneline injecting guitar progressions while calming down but just as intense as the deep cuts Die Born and Dirty Road. With mid tempo emotional tracks like Days of our Lives and the ever so intriging Where are You?, Once Again and Never Drown, it makes you wonder how Days of the New comes up with this raw, soulful music full of heart and honesty. If you thought that was all that this album has to offer, Giving In and Dancing with the Wind takes you into a dream like state of mind with eastern sitar and an orchestra backing it up. This album cannot be described into a mere review and give you the whole picture, you have to listen to it yourself. And thats the key, listen and open your heart and you just might find something you never thought was there. You'll soon realize that there is a lot of music out there that doesnt get the respect it so rightfully deserves and how close minded some people are when they decide to play a boy band track 17 times a day and not one track by a band whose music was made for people to listen to, not for profit or fame. So please consider checking out the "Red" album. You will be surprised on what you will find. Enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best of Days, October 4, 2001

After a long wait, Red has finally been released and has been well worth the wait.

Red has similar sounds to Days' first album, but has alot of creativity from their second album. Once again, Travis Meeks has outdone himself with accoustic guitars, Egyptian sounds, orchestra pieces, that were all created by him and only him. Meeks has by far outdone any comparision to Morrison or Cornell. He has reached into the depths of his soul to create a very well-planned album with lyrics that will move you to the point of tears. You can feel his raw emotion in tracks like Die Born, Dirty Road, and Once Again just to name a few.

This album is by no means an accoustical ballad mixture. Such songs as Words, Hang On To This, and Fighting With Clay illustrate that you can still jam with accoustical guitars and give the impression of an electric guitar sound.

Dancing With The Wind may confuse someone who is new to Days' sound. This song clearly illustrates the influence that such bands as Dead Can Dance had on Meeks. His orchestra pieces throughout this song are completely brilliant and leave the listener wanting more.

Red by far is Days' best album and I truly recommend it to anyone.
