This is a very cool CD. High energy with creative lyrics. It's a lot of fun. Their new CD, New & Improved is even better. New lead singer and a little bit different style. The first single, New & Improved, really pumps! I just saw them live last night and they really know how to put on a show! If you get a chance to see them live, do it!

The cd is pretty good. Lovely Feet is really awesome, but some of the other songs are slightly boring- such as Wavy Gravy. If you're into Christian music and want to listen to something a little bit different, you should try this cd.

I think a lot more people would like it if you could listen to wavy gravy.I bought a CD called organic culture.It had wavy gravy on it and it was the best song on there!!!

So, I was looking through one of those mail-order CD companies - Sound & Spirit, I think it was - looking for new CDs I hadn't heard yet that I might want to get for free (you know, the 11-for-the-price-of-one deal), and I came across a CD with a bar of soap on the cover. I am a fan of ska, and the description said it was a rock-ska-alt. mix, so I grabbed it. The female vocals are a refreshing break from all-male ska bands who scream out the words and have ok voices. Shannon Woolner (lead singer) not only has a great voice, she also adjusts it to fit with the ska background. And so... buy this album - it rocks!

This album is WAY awesome! Rock/ska/alternative all rolled into one with a female lead singer. Different than anything else out there. BUY THIS ALBUM!

This is ultimately the best band that I have ever heard in my whole life. Too bad that I am deaf.

I was walking through the store one day and saw this CD, it had a 2 dollar off sticker on it, and I had just gotten paid, so I said, "what can it hurt". And I have to tell you, that this CD is really good. To me, it sounds really close to a Ska band...but it's kind of a mix in between Alternative and ska...and all I can say is that it's different. It's always nice to see Christian artists who don't conform to the "norm" of what others think Christian music is all about. The lead singer has a very well rounded voice and is backed up very well by her band. The only reason that I didn't give it 5 stars is because I'm not that much of a ska fan. But try this CD or tape...it'll probably suprise you:-)

Everything about this album is better than the music itself. The layout sparkles with a quirky 60's feel; the production reflects another world-class feat by the Elefante brothers; the photography captures the band's spirit, even though it has a penchant for the admittedly cute lead singer. Even the arrangements are tasteful in the scope of what the band is doing; nothing's overdone or out-of-place. The musicians themselves obviously have talent, from the guitars to the horn section to the lead vocals. But it just doesn't ever gel, except in "Wonderful Wonder" and then, only barely, as if the band were locked in a small room and held at contract-point until they recorded a quality single.

The attempts to break out of traditional structures by inserting chords that don't work or by not completing a phrase and letting it fall off into outer space simply do not work. They sabotage the songs and prevent them from building up any emotional momentum. When the songs ends, you feel like nothing has happened -- you haven't journeyed into other atmospheric worlds; you don't feel any particular emotion; you're not effervescing with adrenaline. You won't cry. You won't think much. You won't be driven to your knees, but you might tap your foot for a few bars or giggle here and there.

"Scrub" just isn't meant to be taken seriously. It's probably best enjoyed while you're studying, working, cleaning house or doing anything but actively listening. That way you probably won't notice the structural problems or attempts at innovation. It honestly seems like it was intended as background music, and as that, it does the job.

I really liked this cd, and I don't normally like this kind of music! But Wavy Gravy was probably the best song on here! I love music, and I'd say I'm fairly good at picking music out! I'd defenetly recommend this cd!
