5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best albums ever., January 30, 2004

These guys do not sound like lifehouse or any other band out there. ESPECIALLY when you see them live... Paco Estrada is the singer forementioned in other reviews. He alone makes this band truly what it is. A big guy who can put a feeling into his tone. The guitar duo is flawless and the viola is topnotch. Definitly a must buy in my opinion. But seeing them live in Deep Ellum (where they normally play) is a whole new world of good music...

And I agree with the previous comment "Dear Claudia" is one of the weaker songs on the album...

5.0 out of 5 stars suprise! good modern rock is back, June 30, 2003

I'm normally not into this style of rock (i listen to much heavier stuff), but right off the bat the first track "Thursday Night" caught my ear. They've got some really thick guitars that can get heavy, but the real emotional pull is from the vocals. The singer has a real control over his emotions portrayed in his voice. Its like a soothing cry for help.
I've been hearing them on the radio lately with that song Dear Claudia - take it or leave it - i think its one of the weakest songs on the record, but i'm sure other people would love it. it is catchy, thats for sure, but i like the rest of the album so much more. If you get a chance to listen to "Drama Kids" before you buy it, make sure you check out the last 3 tracks - those are my favorites. Theres this one that has this wierd little groove, almost like a waltz or something. its suprising that it works so well as a melodic rock song.
overall, SouthFM is one of the most promising modern rock bands i've heard in a long time. they have a lot of versatility and depth. and they write great songs - rather than just a great chorus, the whole song is really good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Texas band rocks hard, and hits soft, June 5, 2003

When you first hear the single, "Dear Claudia," you assume that SouthFM is one of those LIFEHOUSE, CALLING, CREED type bands. Not to say that "Dear Claudia" isn't as good, if not better than any of those aforementioned band's hits. However, the meat of the matter is the rest of the band's debut album which conjures up Tool, A Perfect Circle and bands of that ilk, all with far more substance than the occasional hit single.

I love this album.
