I had never heard of Silent Drive before, however I had heard of BANE (Silent Drives singer and bassist are in BANE). I went to a BANE show and Silent Drive played as well. Silent drive was up on stage early in the night, and Zach was singing his heart out. I remember thinking he had amazing energy, so much that with his unleashed exhuberance, the mic kept coming unplugged. At one point, he just dropped the mic and was screaming his heart out with arms wide open and never missed a beat. I thought this was absolutley amazing! So much love for the music. Later, when BANE came out, I saw Zach playing guitar up there and realized that this guy has AMAZING TALENT. After the show (which was increadable, they played with comeback kid as well) I decided to hunt down thier CD. I ended up ordering it off of this site.

I kid you not, this CD is having the hardest time getting out of my CD player. If you are expecting just pure uninterupted hardcore singing, you will not find it here. You really should approach this album with an open mind if your expecting a hard straight up screaming album. Trust me when I tell you, the album gets better every time you listen to it. There is such a wide variety of sounds produced by this band. Great melody, harmony, emotion, and the for ever loved screaming. Despite what I have read from previous reviews, Zach has an increadible voice. This album is absolutely my all time favorites of all time.

It was a great tip from a previous review to blend all the songs in as one long song. I would like to try that. It is also great to play it on random. Each time you listen to this album you will find a new "favorite part". It really gets better and better the longer you listen to it.

This CD has not recieved the respect it so deserves. Increadibly talented visionaries in this band. I am hoping to at least see them play on stage one more time and hopefully they make more albums.

Give it a shot!

I was walking through the store and this one caught my eye. I couldn't begin to place it in a genre, the art work was just beautiful, the title a bit misleading, and the song titles only added confusion. The title "boyfriend notes" led me to believe there was a female in the group. So not knowing a single fact about the band i bought the album, and was surprised. This type of music isn't normally my cup of tea. Seeing that i couldn't understand the words being sung, i concentrated on the music, and loved every minute. After a few listens i can better hear the words in the screaming. I later used a media program to overlap the songs and turn it into one long track, using radio station-like segues to go from song to song so the music never stops made the album even more enjoyable. The range of music is pleasing, especially in these times where every "rock & punk" mainstream of course, sounds the same. This alternative slice of pie is mix of all the flavors a lazy american can ask for. This album feels like a labor of love, and as they say, "love is worth it."

rarely am i significantly impressed by cd's that i buy after only hearing one song. somewhere down the line a friend of mine had put me on to hearing 'banana rejection'. on the first listen i was surprised by the range of sound the previously unknown band (to me) was putting into such a concise work of music. but i was hooked, and i bought the full disc today. all i can say is, they will never be what you anticipate them to be. they were more hardcore, and more heavy, and more placid, and more touching, than i could have hoped they would be. great mixing, great music - always different, and always reaching. it's the way expression should be. there are so few bands that really genre push these days, but i think silent drive have got it just right. all i could have hoped for is another song or two for length. but quality over quantity, no?

silent drive , love is worth it is one of my favorite albums.

love that the cd came with a clearance price sticker that was marked a dollar less than what i paid but oh well..fast shipping and i think it was like 3 dollars.

When I finally picked up this disc, I was taken back to a time where music actually made sense. Where heavy parts are heavy and soft parts are mello. I love this disc and would reccommend it to anyone who has two ears and a big red muscle pumping in their chest.

This CD blew me away! I agree with the other review...this is one of the only bands out there right now that is truly pushing genres! Zach Jordan has got an amazing voice! Buy this CD now and then go out and get your friends to buy it too!

Best CD I've heard in many years hands down! There isn't one thing I could possibly complain about on this record. I've only owned it for 2 days and already I've listend to it probably 30 times!!!
Trust me, BUY THIS RECORD YOU WILL NOT BE LET DOWN!!!

when i first listened to this cd i thought it was alright. But then after a couple more times of listening to it it really grew on me. i don't like to caterogize music so i'll call it "whisper and scream." This cd is actually a mutual cd. I'll explain like this; Take a group of different people with different ears, one being hippy stuff, another being hard rock, another being screamo/post hardcore. The two people in this group who like hippy stuff and hard rock are very picky in what they listen to. When this cd goes in no one says, "i don't wanna listen to this." This story may sound stupid or even made up but it actually happened to me in a job. Buy this CD or your friends will hate your music forever

This CD is awesome. My friend played the CD for me and by the end of the very first song I was hooked. I saw them in concert in Philly and I have to say that it was a AWESOME SHOW!! They really know how to play and their energy is amazing. The whole CD is great, I can listen to it over and over again. BUY THIS CD!

I will give it four stars because it does rock. But it is a huge rip off of Faith No More's sound. Although at times, they got it down instrumentally, I feel kinda of embarrassed for the singer trying to sound like Mike Patton.

Obviously he has a good voice, but he should go with it instead of trying to sound like Mike Patton from Faith No More. It would just sound more authentic.
