No matter what kind of mood you are in, this album caters to all of your musical needs. It starts off in a mystical way and leads the listener to a land of wonder, contemplation, and happiness. If you are on the road with not much to think about, you will be engulfed by this musical odyssey and taken to a land where doziatic sensations can be maximized. The gentle guitar soothes the soul but at the same time there is enough power that you really feel this music. This is a great band and this is their best album.

Anyway, this album is great, and is my favorite 764hero album. What's special about this album is the atmosphere created by the music. It's not coarse like their previous work, it's more subtle and beautiful. My favorite tracks are "loaded painted red" and "coastline." After their loud vocals and harsh music of the past, they seemed to be more resigned now, but it makes for beautiful and elegant music. The lyrics are not cliche lovey lovey junk so that makes it all the better. Anyway, buy this album, it's pretty great.

THE FOLLOWING NARRATIVE IS TRUE:
It was the end of the spring '99 semester, I had just finished my final exams that day and was walking outside my dorm in the evening when I spotted what looked like a compact disc lying in the grass. I picked it up. It had some dirt on it, so I cleaned it off. I bumped into a friend of mine and said "look what I found". So we went into my dormroom and popped it on my stereo. I fell in love with this album right then and there. My friend didn't. I guess he might have been the one who threw in in the grass. Who knows?

Anyway I really like this album alot. I recommend it highly to everyone.

I was fortunate enough to get an advance copy of this album and I was certainly not disappointed! On this album, their second full-length, the follow-up to their last EP, Polly Johnson and John Atkins are joined by James Bertram (Lync, Red Stars Theory, Pennsy's Electric Workhorses) on bass. His addition to the band makes their beautiful music all the better--songs like "Loaded Painted Red" and "Calendar Pages" are unbelieveable! They have managed to take their music to a whole new level! This album is ten tracks of pure bliss--if you only buy one CD or record this year,it should be this one!

We saw these guys at Spaceland in LA, back in '99. They rock! This is one of thier best albums. Bertram is tight on the Axe.
If you love really good indie, this is it, man! So soothing to the soul while you blow...
Peace

It's not very often when you find a band who really hits you like 764-hero does. The music is slow and driving, but mellow and invitig. This is a cd that plays to every emotion you could conjur up.
