4.0 out of 5 stars All-encompassing emotion, July 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Gift Before I Go (Audio CD)

I would have to say that this album brings new meaning to things like Danielle Steel's tribute to Nick Traina. After reading that book, I really started to understand where Nick was coming from and where his songs were headed-but more so, the songs speak for themselves... I like some of the more positive tones in his songs-like "Better Things" and of course, "Gnat" does a lot for reflection.. I would recommend this album but to whomever listens to it, be aware of who Nick Traina really was.. there lies much more within past the surface- This was a "gift before HE went"..

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Final CD, August 2, 2001

Great final cd of music by Nick Traina. Inspring lyrics, well crafted balance of melody and aggresive punk sounds, and one of the best lo-fi indie pieces I've ever heard in the last song, Gnat (I'm All Alone). It's a beautiful, heartbreaking song, a poingnant reminder of the talent Nick Traina was. THE ONLY EVIL IS IGNORANCE, THE ONLY GOOD IS KNOWLEDGE- NICK TRAINA

5.0 out of 5 stars This is definatly a gift before he left, June 13, 1999

I think that all around this CD is a very good one. The best song is "Gnat." It shows a lot of character on Nicks part and it told us all how messed up he was inside. Iam good friends with both Nicks sister and brother and the were left in despiar when he died and they played the song "Gnat" at his funeral.
