4.0 out of 5 stars Up and Comming Success, August 17, 2000

I recently bought this CD through a friend and was really blown away by the talent Dispatch, formerly One Fell Swoop, has. I am a HUGE Dave Matthew's Band fan which brought me to them. I would obviously tell everyone to get this CD and give it a listen - i'm almost positive you'd like it. They're a mix of older DMB, reggae, and ska that really gives them an excellent sound. Track 12 titled "Elias" incorporated some great Zimbabwean lyrics and tells a great story - this song made me want to learn to play the bongos... it's an incredible CD, and is followed by Bang Bang and Four Day Trials if you like this...

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Cd from a Great band, July 25, 2003

After reading many reviews of Dispatch, I have noticed many people comparing them to DMB. I have been a fan of Dispatch for quite sometime now and personally do not see any resemblence between the two. But that is besides the point. This is one of the greatest cd's the band has put it out. The song Hey,Hey is an excellent example of the vocal and musical talent of this group. Elias is my personal favorite song of their's, this song shows just how talented the group is, it combines elements of new age rock with an almost reagae sound, the background music in itself is very impressive. For a truly unique experience buy this and any other of their cd's. I would also recommend the band member's solo projects which are equally impressive. I would say this is the best group never heard. If you want to get away from the same old boring songs they play on the radio stations and want to experience something new and interesting, check out dispatch today... you wont be dissapointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars new Dispatch fan, September 5, 2000

Dispatch puts so much more soul and technical musical ability into their songs than do most popular artists. I agree, Elias is an awesome song - it makes me want to sing and play guitar and bongos all at once - it's just a powerful song. All the other songs are also great, especially #4, #5 and #11. This is definitely Dispatch's best album - intricate vocal harmonies and beautiful lyrics without all the over-production that often screws up music. Buy it! For a similar artist, look at Rockwell Church or Guster.
