The album is great. Better than most new bands out there. Haven't had a chance to see the live shows but will soon. Anyways go out and get this album. You won't regret it.

First off you have to see these guys live, they put on one of the best live shows I have seen! Secondly after listening to this record you will not want to do anything else but see these guys live! Moth have succeed in creating an album that both sounds raw as an early Devo record but with a beautiful production value that perfectly preserves their music's energy and live sound on disc. Brad's lyrics are witty and precise while the music is diverse and powerful. In my option there are so many bands out there that get close but these guys get it. The tightness of the group, Kevin's drums and Eli's bass lines, The Billionaire and Brad's guitars seemed like they have been playing with each other since birth. The opener "Helpless" sets a tone that so many other albums I have purchased have been able to reach maybe on that first track, but this album delivers from beginning to end. Let it be known this is no fluke for this band as they have done the time and time again prior to this release, but with the present line up and the present energy you can't help but wonder if in a very short time these sounds will be reverberating through every single 13 - 75 year olds stereo's! "Immune to Gravity" filled me with the excitement I first had getting into music digging through my parents records hearing something that although you could label it rock, or post-punk or pop you just knew it was freaking amazingly good.

nothing really interesting here beside the song "Revolution" which is a clever anthem sharing sentiments with Garbage's "Boys Wanna Fight". sounds like a studio-polished bar band, strong musicianship but the album overall is pretty bland... might appeal to blue october fans topically but not nearly as creative as "history for sale". It's not that they're incapable, it just seems like they have the potential to produce something much better.

I first heard of Moth when their song "I See Sound" from their Provisions, Fiction, & Gear (PFG) album was getting some radio play. I liked the song enough to pick up the album and thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish.

I can't think of good comparison for their sound. The singer has a somewhat unique sounding voice, slightly nasally whine or screeching, that works with punky-feel and the subject matter of their songs, which seem to touch on the craziness that is the life of people that have seen the inside of heavy drug use.

To be honest I didn't like Immune to Gravity after the first two spins. It wasn't as tight as PFG. The singer didn't even sound like the same person from their previous album on most of the tracks.

Later I learned they had a falling out with their record label and I believe some members also left the band.

I gave the album another spin and then it hit me. Immune to Gravity is the album they wanted to make but they were very likely being held on a tight leash during the production of PFG to get the consistently tight sound that I enjoyed on that particular album.

With that in mind, Immune to Gravity actually demonstrates greater versatility, while still keeping the core sound from PFG intact.

If you like punk with some unique flavoring thrown in, I'd recommend both Provisions, Fiction, & Gear and Immune to Gravity.

I like this album even more than Provisions, Fiction, and Gear. It's very melodic and the songs stay with you throughout the day. I think Immune to Gravity is the finest track on the album... however, this is one of the few albums that I listen to entirely. There are no throw-away tracks on this one.
