Recently I read somewhere on the internet, that this was one of the 10 best records of 2006. Well is that true? ABSOLUTELY.
I've had the opportunity to see this Atlanta based band in concert and they are truly amazing and talented - and this record truly shows that - IN SPADES!
From the power 1-2 punch of openers "Follow You Down" and "Starry Eyed" your hooked immediately. The infectious groove and chorus of "Anyway" (co-written by Ed Roland of Collective Soul by the way) leaves this song stuck in your head! Then there's the power riffing in "Only Imagine" and "World Needs Now" that flat out just friggin' rocks. Just when you think that's not enough, let's not forget about the power of the softer tunes "Is There Something I Can Do" and "Luckiest Man". This record has it all.
One of the best records of 2006? Heck - maybe THE best! Buy this one now - you will NOT be disappointed.

I LOVE THIS CD!! If you're thinking about buying this CD, don't think, just buy it! You will not be disappointed. Their songs are full of energy and compassion and are unique in every way. Two of my favorites from this CD are Starry Eyed and What the World Needs Now. And if you have the opportunity to see these guys live, don't miss out. Their live shows are as amazing as their CD. Definitely check it out. :-)"

From the first song through to the last, this album blew me away and left me wanting to hear more. Each song has a fresh sound, catchy melodies, and ingenious thought-provoking lyrics. Every rock music lover should add this CD to their collection!

Why don't you have this CD yet? These songs are full of all original lyrics written or co-written by the lead singer. This is the one CD I can not be without. I guarantee you will have to see them live after you listen to it. You won't be disappointed then either. Look out because this band is going all the way!

Ever been on a quest for a CD that you just connect with? Well this is one of those CD's!! Every song on here is very good. There are some rockin' out songs with "Let It All Out" and "Follow You Down." Then there's a softer side with songs like "Luckiest Man" and "Is There Something I Can Do." Just a very personal CD, with songs that will definately touch your heart!

This CD is definately a diamond in the rough. You are instantly hooked with Follow you Down and it continues throughout the ENTIRE CD. Pure talent is what this CD is about. This CD never, EVER, leaves my CD changer. It is a breath of fresh air in the stale music industry of today.
An added bonus is the quality of live shows. These guys are great live! I guarantee if you purchase this CD you will definately be checking out some shows!

Everyone owns those CD's that you bought just because you like a couple of songs. You never listen to the whole thing, you just skip through it. This is NOT that CD! This is the CD you'll put on repeat, and the one you'll want your friends to listen to. It's not your boring, already been done kind of rock music. This album will take you on a musical journey of orignality, creativity, and just plain fun...from the infectious thumping beats of "Follow You Down" and "Starry Eyed" all the way to the softer melodies of "Is There Something I Can Do" and "Luckiest Man." If there's one CD you buy this year, this is the one! This is what rock music should be!

After hearing all the bands on the radio that sound exactly the same, Five Star Iris has a sound all their own. A band that sounds great live translates well to a CD that isn't over-produced. You should own this CD if you love fun, exciting rock music.

I love this album. It's surprisingly good for a newer band, and I'm rockin' out to Starry Eyed as I fight traffic everyday now. Great riffs, hooks and extremely singable. 5 Star Iris is absolutely worth the price of admission, anyway you can get them. I'm just sorry I found out about them after they did the concerts out here in the west (that sound you hear is me banging my head on the wall :)
