well this band is pretty good...
they manage to make themselves sound like thrice and lost prophets mixed with a few other bands. Some of there songs are soft and easy to listen to and some others are fast and a little agressive with the guitars and the drums. Classic Case doesnt scream much just in a few parts of a few select songs which makes them close to sounding like the softer side of thrice.So if your a fan of thrice then you'll like this cd

First off, I am really surprised to see only 3 reviews under mine, I thought more people knew of these guys...But anyway, this CD is pretty good, and i think it is a worthy debut, though I hope their next oen will be better. This band is unique and so I like them cause I am always looking for unique bands. I like the lead vocalists voice and the guitars are nice. Plus the fact that these guys are recommended by He Is Legend (The best band I have ever heard)is a hint that you need to check these guys out. Best songs are Hospitalized, One, Two, Three, Three(or whatever that one is called, cause i dont quite remember the exact name of the song) and Venus.

I really hope these guys get some more recognition becacue they deserve it.

Awhile back, we put an EP on this site by a small rock band with heavy Incubus influences. Finally, after a LONG wait, they have released their debut LP which ended up coming out on Fiddler/Help Records. What can I say but that it rocks? Striking similarities to Daryl from Glassjaw, but that's beside the point; these are blasting, heavy, catchy rock songs with some dark twists in there.

"Hospitalized" and "One On Three Four" are perhaps the key tracks on the disc, with their punchy, driving guitars and powerful choruses/melodies. The whole disc is pretty solid, though, despite a few rather droney guitars and parts and the fact that a lot of the songs tend to flow together. The band have discovered a sound that is a quarter Incubus, quarter Glassjaw, and half straight pop rock, and it works quite well on "Dress To Depress." The production sounds stellar and I've been blasting these jams for a few days now, so why aren't you?

While Classic Case doesn't have the traditional Chapel Hill sound, they have managed to make a helluva name for themselves.

I hate doing this, but think Glassjaw meets Mae. Definately one of the best releases of 2005.

4.5 out of 5...
