5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!, March 28, 2006

The old band, Holland, has evolved into something great! Words cannot begin describe its brilliance. From track #1-10 it's amazingly captivating. I'd recommend it for anyone who likes a bit of folk with their rock 'n' roll.

Some on the net call this emo, and Mr. Holland has a good emo style voice, but manages to elevate this music above that style (which I despise) by injecting some rock into the mix and keeping the hook level high. "Passive Agressive" I wouldn't call emo, and "War Brides" moves right along. Unfortunately there's a country twinge here that breaks into total objectional country funk stuff like "Love Comes" that I classify as a complete miss. "Mermaid" could have been a great anthem rocker but is soiled a bit by a laid back country feel as well that fails to support the solid chorus. "Heartbreaker" and "Intentions" are straight c&w pop for that matter. I don't know, if you can write pleasant song passages you can go a long way, but this would have to take a hard right turn from Nashville to grab me.
