This record should have been released about 2 years ago, but business issues kept this great music under wraps. They treated a few cities to live shows at small venues in the meantime, and even shot a music video that can be seen at their myspace page, among other places online.

I heard all of the songs on the album a long time ago, and it was one of the rare collections of songs that made me want to listen straight through over and over again. I find new albums in recent years often have only a couple good songs on them, and really good albums may have 3 or 4 notable tracks. This album has only 1 or 2 songs that I Don't like.

Tracks 1 and 12 are basically just intro/outro. Tracks 2 through 8 are all very catchy and varied. I can do without tracks 9 and 10. Track 11 is a mellow, emotional finish. There is generally a lot of emotion in these lyrics.

Best selection? You be the judge, based on your taste. My opinion is Track 5 - Walker's Ridge, but 2-8 and 11 impress me.

Call the cops theres been a murder in the music industry, the murder of smugface, someone murdered them and burnt there ashes and sent them into outerspace. What a travesty, this band citysleeps (also known as smugface back in the day when they were good) have created one of the worse cds ive ever heard. This band had soo much potential, i mean wow maverick signed them and that should speak for itself. Theres a reason no other record label wanted to distribute this cd after maverick booted them, u should just listen and you'll see why. I just cant for the life of me wrap my brain around why they went this route and not use some of their old songs from smugface like "shuttle" and "punish myself" to name just a few and just stick to that formula of music writing and playing. Ive showed many of my friends, guys and girls their old songs and everyone loved it and wanted more of it lol. If you have a chance look up smugface's songs they will give u goose bumps and eargasms. RIP smugface. PS if your looking for a new band to listen to try theunderwater, i saw them in seattle with citysleeps and theunderwater blew them out of the water, and also they are a band that stuck to their roots and did not sell out.
