Intriguing originals and fine covers. A smorgasbord of smiles. Impeccably tasteful and tasty -- except for the possible allusion to support for the current administration suggested by the acronym "FOB." But where is "Vegetable Freedom?"

Having "followed" the band from the early days, I am continually impressed by the growing depth of style, content, and quality of its music. This is especially evident in the FOBs growing library of original tunes and their combination of '60s rock with a more modern, less psychedelic, twist. Cover songs are outstanding, though they are more tributes to the original artists than remakes. Though I don't disagree that the band members should "keep their day jobs", their obvious enthusiasm for music and performing, which is slightly lost in the recording, shines through to make this a truly great first album.

I am playing this disc 24 hours a day for my mother who has been in a coma for almost a year. I honestly expect her to come around after hearing enough FOB magic.

I feel honored to have this CD because my best friend's dad is the lead guitarist and I was lucky enough to be able to go to the release party at the Great American Music Hall. They are simply astounding. They play the music with such passion and heart, it electrifies the air. A must-have for anyone.

And it certainly isn't music. True basement band stylie, need to go back to the woodshed and learn to play.

A greatful dead knock off band led by a venture capitalist. This must be some sort of sick joke.
