Let's just put it this way... if my house was burning down and I could only grab one CD to listen to as I drive away from the smoldering wreckage, it would be this one. These guys are so incredibly talented and IT'S ABOUT TIME they got the publicity and recognition due them! They never, ever disappoint with their thoughtful lyrics and beautiful music. It's downright soul-grabbing stuff... If you ever get a chance, check them out in person (hopefully they'll get to go farther from the Northwest soon), but if you can't, this CD is the next best thing. Be careful, though... you might find yourself torn away from whatever you were trying to get done, mesmerized by the incredible stuff coming from the CD player=) Five O' Clock People deserve 10 stars and four thumbs up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy two copies -- or don't loan it out!, February 17, 2000

This review is from: Nothing Venture (Audio CD)

This album is chock-full of richly blended instrumentation, high caliber musicianship, a variety of vocal harmonies and lyrics worth listening to. The collaboration of these five musicians results in an astonishing level of talent and artistic integrity. The Nothing Venture is a soundtrack for life in a postmodern world -- sometimes times exuberant, other times reverent, and always full of questions. Very hard to categorize -- is there a category for "alternative folk-pop"?

5.0 out of 5 stars depth, commitment, and musical genius, February 9, 2001

i've been a big fan of these guys for the last three or so years, and im contiually amazed. i have all of five o'clock people's albums (including the very very first one)and each one has something new to offer. beginning to end, the nothing venture is full of lush sounds, excellent production, tight harmonies and strong lyrics. they have an amazing way of portraying exactly what they want people to hear. their music and lyrics match very well. i see these guys (and girl)taking music like jars of clay, burlap to cashmere and the dave matthews band a little further. all of their personalities come through in their music making a huge impact on their listeners. this is a must-have album. a true masterpiece.
