So I actually was really getting out of indie rock when I heard this band. They were all seeming to sound the same and had that generic "Indie Rock" sound which just became boring. Dear and the Headlights, totally blew me away though, they are fun, catchy and full of energy. If you want a good change and just a fun cd to listen to, I highly recommend this album.

Ahh, I found this band a while back through iTunes and its recommended bands, and that was where I heard their first single "Sweet Talk." It was catchy so I got the rest of the album, and it's seriously one of my most favorite CDs ever. All the songs are really melodic. My favorites are "Paper Bag," "Grace," "Sweet Talk," and "Midwestern Dirt." One of the things that I really loved the most was the fact that the songs were so sing-able. Many of the choruses don't repeat themselves too, and I found myself constantly trying to sing them out with as much emotion as the lead singer does. One of the best bands ever! Can't wait 'till they finish the new CD! :D

All around a good cd. It has a variety of styles throughout, one moment giving you a country tinged rock song and the next a dose of a subtle, indie, acoustic masterpieces. The lyrics are some of the tightest and profound in at least the last five years, and they flow evenly throughout. I'd check out the song grace or the song paper bag to get a good feel for these guys. Enjoy!

This surprisingly good first effort from this band completely amazed me. I've seen their live shows and though this record doesn't quite capture that energy, it does showcase their musical talent. Great lyrics, great production, great music; it's all there in this album. Highly recommended.

Arizona is putting some of the best music out right now - and leading the way is Dear and The Headlights. Never mind the wierd album title - this album is inspirational and moody. It can set you at ease and on edge. I drive faster and slower all at the same time. This album is great rock with passion.

Easily one of the best albums in recent memory. The album opens with such honesty and ends with such promise. It's absolutely solid from start to finish.

Stand-out tracks include:

I'm Bored, You're Amorous

Grace

It's Getting Easy

Paperbag

Midwestern Dirt

Also, get the limited release track "Telemarket Mishap" off of iTunes.

Let's just start this off by saying BUY THIS ALBUM! It is truly amazing. I've been anticipating this album to be released ever since I went to my first DATH show a few weeks ago. I was hoping they could capture all the energy they put into their live show onto cd and they did so wonderfully. Each song is beautifully written and sung with such conviction and emotion. If you havent had a chance to hear any of their songs check their myspace out here... [...]

This album is pretty freakin awesome! I bought it when I saw them open for Plain White T's. My favorite track is Run in the Front and it was incredible live! I'd almost compare them to Modest Mouse a little bit.

Thank heavens for illegal music download sites. I could have wasted $12 on this pice of monotonous garbage! Now, don't get me wrong, I do buy music, but being stuck in Saudi Arabia I never get to hear new stuff. downloads that say "delete after 24hours and buy if you like" are great, but as one song blurred seemless into another, I was on the third track without realizing. I though it was still the first very long, very boring track. Didn't like the singer's voice, didn't like the off beat drums, didn't like the whole damned thing. I'm not buying .... <del>
