4.0 out of 5 stars After the amazing Say It Like You Mean It, TSL does it again, April 5, 2004

This review is from: The Make Yourself At Home EP (Audio CD)

Today, saying you like emo is almost as embarrassing as saying you like pop-punk which is almost as embarrassing as saying you like pop. Although, The Starting Line's Make Yourself At Home [EP] is truly something special. If you have never heard of The Starting Line you may want to know what other bands they sound like. Well, I could list a few bands, but that wouldn't do them justice because I think they sound more mature and write better lyrics than most of the bands they are categorized with. The EP starts off with the title track Make Yourself At Home 7.5/10. It is a good song and encompasses so much emotion that is unifying of all TSL (The Starting Line) songs. Selective 8.0/10 is a bit more fun-loving with a slightly faster tempo, a nice change from a opening song that isn't much better than par. Playing Favorites 8.0/10. This was the first song I heard, before buying the album. It reminds any TSL fan of the album Say It Like You Mean It but with some hidden sense of growth. The Night Life 8.5/10 is one of the best songs on this EP, flows so nicely, any TSL fan won't be able to help but like this song! The Best of Me 9.5/10 you may recognize from the Say It Like You Mean It album, but the difference is this is acoustic (not truly acoustic, but more acoustic than the other version). What can I say? This song is extremely good in the way that there is so much urgency of hoping for good things in Ken Vasoli's voice, it's so strong you won't be able but to get sucked in and allow your past experiences to burst through and connect to the lyrics and harmonies of this song. Finally the EP ends with Lasting Impressions 9.5/10, now I admit I wouldn't normally rate this song as high as 9.5, but the song is brilliantly placed and has some mysterious way of encapsulating the whole EP, it makes you want to say, "No! Don't leave me, I'm not done with you TSL" and by the end of the song the urge to press "play" again is strong!

If you like this EP don't forget to check out Say It Like You Mean It.

I worship this cd. I love the whole sadness in the EP. My favorite song has to be Make Yourself at Home... TSL is an amazing band and this cd only drives the message home. TSL is a band that will always be remembered.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great band growing stronger, November 29, 2003

This review is from: The Make Yourself At Home EP (Audio CD)

After purchasing TSL's first CD, Say It Like You Mean It, and after reviewing facts about the band, I realized this band is still very young. Singer, Kenny Vasoli, is only 19 and has come a long way for being as young as he is. This new EP is only evidence of which has shown how strong this band is able to grow and is still growing. I have purchased many acoustic CD's over the years and this one is by far my favorite one. The lyrics are nothing but relative to the CD's title, and the tunes are nothing but inonvative and inspiring.
