Product Description
black lab's third album. five years in the making, this record represents the bridge between the first and second albums. twelve deeply personal epics, each one carved out of driving rock & roll, lush electronics and pure savage desire. includes "mine again," "ghost in your mind," and "this night" (from FX's promo for the season 6 of "the shield").

5.0 out of 5 stars Why Is No One Listening To This Amazing Band?, June 7, 2007

By	Frank Brackney "Pancho" (Castle Rock, CO USA) - See all my reviews

I must admit, over the past several years I have become a diehard Black Lab advocate. Paul Durham and Andy Ellis (who self produce) continually deliver first-class music with depth that sadly, most people never have the opportunity to hear. Their previous effort, 'See the Sun', was simply awe-inspiring (Highest Recommendation) and I couldn't wait until the arrival of their next CD.

'Passion' (quietly released in Jan. 07) is spilling over with emotion filled vocals and inspired lyrics that bond with listeners. The amazing opening track, 'Mine Again' reminiscing about memories of a loved one willing to do anything to get them back is a song that will not leave your head and DESERVES radio exposure. Remorse echoes throughout the killer drum beat driven song, `This Night' (Used in the FX Promo for The Shield Season 6) that had me hitting the repeat button over and over. Hiding in the middle of the CD is the very heart of 'Passion'. The ethereal and staggering , 'Weightless'. Paul Durham weaves magic on this song and it will knock your socks off. `Ghost In your Mind', `The Real You', and 'A Day Alone' round out the highlights of the disc.

Although the CD may falter on the last few tracks, as a whole it surpasses most of the pathetic fare heard on the radio today and deserves your attention and your ear. Don't Miss it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding, September 23, 2007

By	Supernova (Australia) - See all my reviews

The fact that Black Lab are doing this on their own, without the "assistance" of a record label just goes to show you how badly these labels have missed the boat. Durham and Ellis have created a brilliant album here. Highlights are "Mine Again" and "Weightless" (for me anyway) but the album is great all through. I am so grateful I stumbled on Black Lab way back in 1997. I have all their albums and look forward to the day they are out touring again.

5.0 out of 5 stars I agree (buy this album), July 10, 2007

By	Leonidas Falkner - See all my reviews

I don't usually review items but had to stop when I saw this CD had only one review. Paul Durham's voice was made for rock, and the sort of beats/instrumentals that accompany his lyrics are amazing.

This is what rock should be.
