Great melodies, great hooks -- this album will have you humming its choruses all day long. The lead singer has a terrific voice, reminiscent of Jeff Buckley and sometimes Weezer's Rivers Cuomo. The music itself also owes a great deal to both those artists, especially Weezer -- catchy, fairly straightforward tunes with just enough quirk to have you coming back again and again for more. It's mostly a very gentle album, closest to Weezer's gem, Pinkerton.

I first saw Army of Me live with Hot Hot Heat and I was blown away. I was not disappointed when I purchased this album discovered that it is just as fabulous as what I remember and their other music that I've heard online and such. An excellent album and band.

i saw these guys a few years ago at warped tour and hfstival, when they were cactus patch (which i kind of like better as a name, but it's still cool). the first time i saw them i was kind of blown away, they were really great live and i had never listened to them before so it was a whole new experience to me. they had a lot of energy and their melodic sound and catchy riffs made a lasting impression. the second time i saw them, i bought their cd (which i think is s/t as cactus patch--it's the one where they're mowing the lawn on the front). i listen to it all the time, still. check these guys out, they're great. and if you can see them live definately do that.

ps the lead singer vince is cute too, he's got the cutest red hair.
