5.0 out of 5 stars Hypnotic Delight!, July 26, 2005

This CD offers a refreshing blend of electronica, rock and pleasing melodies that pull you in and take you for a pleasant musical ride. "Tired of Being Sorry" is worth the price of admission, but this is much more than a one song CD. From "Struggle", the opening track to "Jackie",the very last, you'll find surprises that almost defy description. Even if you don't listen closely to the lyrics, you'll still be drawn in and driven down a road that is rarely taken in today's pop music.....somewhere new!! And if you do listen to the lyrics you'll find them worthy as well. Enjoy what will be on my 2005 top ten list.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect sunny day, windows down music, April 22, 2005

I love this album. My sister and I went together to buy it yesterday after hearing "Tired of Being Sorry" on the radio. Neither one of us knew anything about the band, but were willing to take a chance, even if there were just one or two good tracks on the album. It does not dissapoint. The first time I heard "Tired of Being Sorry" it caught my ear and reminded me of some of the great indie-pop music of the 80s. It has a great melody/chorus, as well as a raw element to the vocals. It's sad and cheerful all at once. The rest of the album is so good, with every track being completely different. I heard a bit of Beck, U2 and the Bo Deans in it. My sister was reminded of Howie Day, Luna and Ween. We both love it. (Oh, and it doesn't hurt that both of the guys are extremely hot!) :) Buy this album!!!

Well, I'm sure you've read the reviews and seen all the other bands that this duo is being compared to....but I have a new one. Combine Our Lady Peace, Simple Plan, Ryan Adams, and Maxwell in a blender and you would come out with a shot of Ringside. Which is not a bad thing. Honestly, I think this group is so different that most (myself included) don't know what to think so we rush to compare them to others. Bottom line...great CD. I can't wait for more. I just wish they had a better website.
