I loved their last couple cds, but this one is the one. The Red Thread really seem to have hit their groove on this one. Every song is meticulously crafted, but none sound alike. They have a sound of their own but incorporate so many influences. A must have.

The guitar blows you away, great rhythm great sound. Saw them live last night and ACTUALLY paid the $10 for the album (usually CD is given away free). This is just really innovative, chill music that you can't go wrong with. Check it out and tell me otherwise.

This album has it's own sound. Some might say that it shares a musical space alongside artists like The Sadies, Calexico (but more upbeat) and the Pernice Brothers. Jason Lakis' vocals pull you right in and at times are reminiscent of Evan Dando. There is a good balance between up tempo -almost pop tunes, and the deeper dimensions of a slower introsepective.

This album could be the strongest of their three, with winners like "Wax Museum,"

"Ship in the Attic" and "Treasure Island."

I listened to the samples and bought it. But I must have been in a very forgiving mood. The vocals are substandard and just painful to listen to after a couple of songs. With samples you can imagine hearing more of what you like, and minimize the impact of what is not so great. But when you play the cd there's no escape.

I loved the song "Wax Museum" from the very first time I heard its very catchy opening guitar riff. The melody is haunting and mysterious, and the lyrics are interesting and elliptical. I am always glad to hear this song pop up on my MP3 player. What else can I say? It's a great 5-star song, and if you don't love it as much as I do, then you are quite mistaken and have no taste at all.

Great cd. The sound of the guitars is exactly as it should be. The vocals are also very good. The songs are really touching. Slightly reminds "Red house painters".

Don't miss this one.
