Wonder What's Next was a very solid album. The songwriting was incredibly simplistic, but the melodies were catchy, the sound was hard and tight, and Pete's voice shined. A lot of the greatness of the sound could probably be attributed to lots of studio time, and work with producer GGGarth. After hearing WWW, Live from the Road was, to say the least, a disappointment. The vocals were very weak and often off key. He often sang an octave below what he sang on the CD. The high notes he attempted were often missed. He barely put any power into his singing either. This is incredibly apparent in the verses of Family System, which were remarkably passionate on the studio CD. Let's move on to instrumentation. The guitar tone was CRAP. Plus all of Pete's guitar playing was profoundly sloppy. The guitars and bass were out of tune on many songs. Plus the CD just sounds like poop. The drums were not recorded well, and they are way too quiet. Terrible mix job. All around, a disappointment. Sorry guys. This is for die-hard fans only.

I should say this is the best live album i've ever heard...I live the lurching riffs, and the high and low vocals of the songs. I don't really likea lot of music with high screaming vocals, but they really compliment the music. If you never heard Chevelle before I suggest you pick up a cd....i think point #1 is the best CD i've heard so far....

After seeing Chevelle live in Athens, Georgia, I'm firmly convinced that they are the best live band I've ever seen. The intensity and chemistry of the Loeffler brothers is unparalleled and makes them absolutely dynamic on stage. This CD could be longer, but seeing as it was released before This Type of Thinking, it makes sense. The songs are of great quality for a live CD and the music is as intense as ever. Worth it.

Ok when I heard that Chevelle was releasing a live cd I was like oh my gosh I hope it sounds good. Well when I got this for christmas I was like this is nice and I couldn't believe how awesome it sounded. I love the way they make pretty much every song choppy or clumpy sounding. Plus the way they do vocals is different and its kinda cool. So if you like live cds b/c of there energy then this cd is worth the $10. If you really like Chevelle then get this cd and watch for there new album to drop in Sept. Check it out for yourself

I was very excited to receive my copy of this bootleg, and having purchased some Pearl Jam concerts previously, I expected a lot more quality. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not comparing the two bands at all, but live recordings should have a higher quality standard than the one found on this record. I understand that they're a "new band", and their live material is quite limited, but come on! They should have picked better material to put on the record. It's very short and badly mixed. I guess the only thing that kept me from throwing it in my "crappy cd" pile, was the autographed cover. If you want live material, buy the DVD instead. It also has some faults, but it's far better than this CD. More material, and perfomed a lot better.

This cd's audio quality is not the greatest. If you are a fan of the first coulple chevelle cds you will like it. But you would be better off just buying their studio albums.

I dont know what two stars here is talkin about, this cd's awesome, its a live cd, of course the quality not goin to be the best, but its completely raw, fresh sound, that doesnt require the best quality to sound good, which is chevelles greatest attribute, buy with confidence, if you liked point no.1 this cd is for you

ALTHOUGH THIS ALBUM IS LIVE, IT KICKS ASS THIS IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE BAND, IF I COULD ONLY TELL THEM IN PERSON JUST HOW GREAT THEIR MUSIC IS, AND HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE THEM PUTTING FORTH THEIR NATURAL MUSIC TALENT. I GOT THIS ALBUM AFTER THEIR CONCERT THAT WONDERFUL NIGHT WHICH WAS HONESTLY THE BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE, AND I LISTENED TO IT THE WHOLE WAY HOME FOR TWO AND A HALF HOURS, AND LOVED IT THE INSTANT I POPPED IT IN. EVERY TIME I LISTEN TO IT, IT BRINGS BACK MEMORIES I NEVER WANT TO FORGET FROM THAT NIGHT, YOUR REALLY STUPID IF YOU DONT EVER GIVE THESE GUYS A LISTEN TO, AND IF YOU DONT WANNA IT'S YOUR LOSS, YOUR MISSING OUT ON THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD!!!

Chevelle's recently released live CD proves to those people who feared that good rock n' roll was dead that it is alive and well. These guys produce a sound unlike any I have heard from any three person band since CCR. They are incredibly talented and passionate about their music and their fans. This is an album that I listen to almost every day and am still finding amazing parts and lyrics. It is an album that you can put in start listening to it and truly look forward to the next song. I would like to take this time to thank the members of Chevelle for making the album and putting every ounce of energy into their live shows and songs.

The brothers in Chevelle have had an amazing year. Their second album, "Wonder What's Next" spawned 3 hit singles, cemented their place in the modern rock scene and earned them opening slots for bands like Korn, Disturbed, Marilyn Manson, Staind, and even a place on the main stage of Ozzfest '03. It makes perfect sense for Chevelle to release a live album. They are indeed, at their best performing live -- and having just seen them a few days ago opening for Staind & Sevendust (incredible show), I can testify to that. "Live From The Road" has an equal balance of old and new. Their debut album "Point #1" is represented on here with the title track, 'Mia' & 'Sma,' which could possibly introduce newer Chevelle fans to some music they may not have heard yet. Of course, the album contains their two biggest hits 'The Red' and 'Send The Pain Below' along with their b-side 'Until You're Reformed' which appeared early this year on the "Daredevil" soundtrack. More is included and it is a very worthy listen for any Chevelle fan, although the real thing -- seeing them live -- is much better. If you just can't get enough of them, there is also a live DVD available to keep us in wait until their next album drops.
