Hands down one of the best albums released last year. I have played this album for numerous people will drastically different musical tastes and get the same response - "can you make me a copy?" No my brother, you have by your own - definatly pick up this album, you will not be disappointed.

I picked this up based on Amazon's tip and absolutely love it. I've played it for several other people with varying musical tastes and it's rare to get such consistently positive feedback. This is perfect party music. It's a shame such a great CD is going unnoticed.

This CD was a pleasant surprise. The music is such a combination of sounds, beats and harmonies, but very easy to listen to. I find myself singing several of the tunes long after the CD is over. Especially like Jerry Dannemiller singing Exit Pearl and October Leaves. The cornet in several songs is a strong addition to the already good songs.

A friend of mine had one of this band's other albums and I liked the one song I heard from him, but I sure don't like this CD. Some of the melodies are OK and some of the lyrics are OK, but overall it has very little energy or inspiration. The band seems to be very unsure of itself and has no confidence in its sound. It tries to copy other bands like Wilco or Uncle Tupelo, but comes off as much lesser versions. There doesn't seem to be any original thoughts here, no fresh ideas, no creative energy. And only one of the singers has a decent voice. The others have no business singing on any recordings. I was very disappointed in this and I wish I would've bought something else instead.
