This is one of the best CD's I've bought in a long time. Fantastic lyrics, great vocals, excellent backing. Really melodic and deep thoughts. Particularly like Dead Heart, Fake a Smile, Long Way Down, Therapy. One of those CD's you can listen to over and over again, and get new sounds. A terrific second album from Jonny Mead, the singer/songwriter. Buy this and you won't be disappointed. And if Radford are playing, go and see them. I have, and they are terrific!

I'm seeing all these reviews say how awful this CD is. It's a truly amazing CD. "fake a Smile" was not a great choice for a single, and it is a somewhat boring song. "Dead Heart" and "Out of The Dark" are definitely the stand out tracks on this record and are worth the $10 by themselves. Buy The CD. It's one of the best of 2004.

Despite what I have read on some of the online reviews about this album, I decided to give it a try and I am glad I did. I own most of the albums that are listed as similar albums to "Sleepwalker" on Amazon. (Greenwheel, Dakona, Strange Celebrity, and Seven & the Sun) This is just as good as Greenwheel's Soma Holdiay and rocks a tad harder as well. Every track on this album is great and there really isn't a stand out track because they are all terrific.
The lead singer's voice is not nearly as bad as people on here are saying. The whining is close to non-existent and the music is great. If you are a fan of many of the bands listed in the similar section, then buy this cd, you will not be disappointed.

FINALLY! 4 YEARS LATER AND ONE BREAK-UP LATER RADFORD IS BACK!

this cd rocks just as hard as the first Radford cd. Only frontman Jonny Mead and guitar player Chris Hower remain intact from the original line up. With them is Chris Cornell's solo album bassist Rik Markman, A Perfect Circle's beast of a drummer Josh Freese... and solid arsonal of 10 well crafted post grunge alt rock songs that any fan of Fuel or Our Lady Peace should be in Heaven with...

Starting with the best..
the songs ranks as follows

Someone Somewhere
Control
Out Of the Dark
Beautiful
Therapy I Dont Need You
Easier
Dead Heart
Anything
Long Way Down
Fake A Smile

Every song on the CD is amazing!!! How often does one come across an album where not a single track warrants being skipped over? Radford released a 5 track EP in 2006 titled Black Out the Sun (available for download on alternativeaddiction.com), and it continues the emotionally charged, layered tracks first experienced on Sleepwalker. This is one of my favorite albums, and I own almost 1,000 CDs, mostly in alternative/rock/metal genres. Treat yourself to some irresistable tunes by buying this album!

"Sleepwalker" is the kind of music that makes you think. It's the music that you can tell is deeper than just lyrics. They have a purpose, a meaning, from which great songs are born. The artist's smart rhyming lyrics add immensely to the extremely catchy tunes. Each song seems to have a catchy string of notes that you can't seem to get out of your head. The emotions expressed vocally through stylish lyrics are sung by Radford, an amazing unique and creatively original singer.

The CD is filled with track after track of potential hits. It's a shame I heard about Radford on an internet radio and not on a mainstream radio station. Radford deserves to become more popular.

If you take the amazing drummer from Strata, add a country music singer (he sounds like country but, believe me, I HATE country--he makes it work), throw in the guitarist from the Muse, put in the keyboardist from Postal Service, and top it off with a songwriter from Trapt or Crossfade and you've got the sweetness that is Radford.

I am a drummer and after listening to "Sleepwalker" (which is a cool name) just once, I was able to identify the drummer, Josh Freese, as one of the best, most talented drummers I've ever heard.

It ROCKS!

This album is fab. The lyrics, especially the ballads, are really thoughtful. Although Fake a Smile is out as a single, I particularly like Dead Heart, a really interesting beat and great meaning within the lyrics.

Buy this CD - it's really worth listening to time and again.

as a drummer, I always want to have my hands on any ablum that feature Josh Freese on drum, and Sleepwalker is one of those, after giving that a listen, I just can't put that down, it's not just because of Freese, it's also because Radford worte some of best tunes of our time, the whole album is full of great song writing and arrangment, the way they put together loops and real instruments brings great climax to songs and will definitely blow you away with all of the their energy.

It's been around 4 years since Radford's self titled debut album was released. This album is well worth the wait! Every song is great! The lead singer, Jonny Mead, has a truly remarkable voice and his lyrics are fantastic.

My favorite tracks on this album are:

Therapy (I Don't Need You)
Dead Heart
Fake A Smile
Easier
Out Of The Dark
Anything

The other 4 songs are great also, but the ones I listed are the ones I just really relate to, and/or just love the overall sound of.

Go ahead and order this CD, you won't regret it! It's awesome!

i just picked this cd up on a whim today because i saw a good review of it on alternativeaddiction.com awhile back. This is alternative rock at its finest, some of the best i have heard in a long time. Highly reccomended
