4.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat like Coldplay, but less whiney., April 26, 2010

So I've given the album a once over. The reference was Fray and Snow Patrol, which got my interest. I hear a similarity to Coldplay and also David Gray, which I hadn't noted before.

I really like New Morning. It sounds a little like Coldplay. Maybe because of the falsetto singing and the strings.

Phoenix Burn seems a little like Coldplay. The piano and driving rhythm? Also, it progresses/regresses to some falsetto.

White Fences has a U2 guitar start.

Overall, I like the lyrics and music. I figured for $3.99 I couldn't go wrong. It seems like a good, energetic album that I'll be listening to for awhile. It also looks like they are a very good live band. I'm not sure when they are coming to the Bay Area, but I'd be excited to see them.

Alpha Rev is a strong band with a solid sound. The group has good musical connections between the members and they look very natural together. The sound they produce is highly layered and richly textured. I love the use of the violin and cello as these slicing movements cutting across the fluid body of the piano and Casey McPherson's haunting buy mesmerizing voice. He has some echos of John Ondrasik's timber. The style of the band is in line with Keene's story telling type of music.
I look forward watching them as they put out more albums.
