For everyone who has driven around singing at the top of their lungs the song "Breakfast at Tiffany's" fear not, this CD will have your voice severely hoarse. The layout of the tracks (the marching order of them) are extremely well done as tracks 4-6 flow perfectly as they progress into the next. For those looking to find a link back to the "catchy sing-a-long" chorus of "Breakfast at Tiffany's" then you must listen to "Burning a Past." With guitars reminiscent of U2's The Edge and vocal harmonies that we've come to love from this band, it just doesn't get any better than this. Other songs that just make you roll your car windows up to sing ( i don't know about you but i don't subject the world to my voice) are "Higher", "Military Man", "Number One" and "Beautiful Nightmare." I disagree with Heather's review previous to mine that said "I miss slower, mellower songs like "Home" as DBS produced some great mellow tracks on this CD especially the song "Enough to Get By." If you are looking for a CD where every song is a potential hit, then look no further... You just found it.

I feel kinda weird not posting a review sooner. If you've heard of Deep Blue Something, you've probably heard the huge hit, "Breakfast At Tiffany's". It was the hit single of their "Home" record in 1995. This album "Deep Blue Something", is a little bit different, a little bit more mature, and a more experimental. It contains the Beatlesq single "She Is", cool alternative hits, such as "Military Man", "Higher","Page Me Wolverine", the funkier songs "Number One", "Burning A Past", "So Precious", "Beautiful Nightmare" and the ABSOLUTLY ADDICTIVE AND AMAZING "Park Bench" (best song on the album in my opinion). There are also slow pretty songs such as "Hell in Itself", "Focus" and "Enough to Get By". And last but not least, a harder rock song, "Who Wants It" to complete the myraid of genres.

I think it's their best album yet. In my honest opinion, Out of my favorite 10 Deep Blue Something songs out of all 4 of their albums, 6 are from this one. If you like Gin Blossoms, Semisonic, Third Eye Blind, or R.E.M., you'll love this album.

Granted, I like other DBS fans was first atracted to their smash "Breakfast at Tiffany's", but I feel in love with the rest of their album Home. This album is no different. I first heard "She Is" on a local rock station, and after my initial shock of it being DBS, I knew I had to have the album. Let me say I was not entirely disappointed. Yes, it's their second major label album, and while not as polished sounding as Home, it's a solid album with great poppy-rock songs. My only complaint is that is can ocasionally get a bit loud in parts, which is why I only gave it 4 stars. I miss slower, mellower songs like "Home." Keep up the good work guys!

ok, I am a fan of deep blue something(or was), I loved every song off of the album HOME and still listen to it all the time, I was very dissapointed with this album,it is very bland in sound and the songs are not catchy like HOME they down right STINK, I bought it with out listening to it first because I liked their album HOME I will not make that mistake again if I even listen to another one of their albums again.It lasted about 10min. in my CD player before I removed it,I have tried listening to it again to try and learn to like it just cant,awefull album.I RECOMEND NOT WASTEING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON THIS CD LIKE I DID.
