You can put this album in and just play it all the way through. I suspect Greenwheel will have many more good ones to came after listening to this CD. I love these guys. Thier music is down to earth and positive.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality hard rock has a new name, July 9, 2002

I'm not easily impressed. I love the song "Shelter," so I picked up the CD. I went track after track, wondering when it was going to start..., like so many CDs with one or two hard driving hits and weak filler. This CD only gets stronger, track after track, listen after listen.
Let's compare it to Matchbox 20's first CD. "Long Day" came out, I ran out and bought the CD. The rest of the CD was middle of the road, watered down rock. This Greenwheel CD is what the rest of the MB20 CD should have sounded like. (What do I know? It only sold a bizillion copies.)
A more accurate comparison would be to Fuel. "Louder than Words" sounds very much like "Jesus or a Gun." "Breathe" would fit nicely Fuel's latest CD. The rest of the Greenwheel CD is more hard driving rock.
My favorite tune on the CD is "Drowning Man," but the whole is CD is very, very consistently good. Make no bones about it: this CD rocks from start to finish. There is absolutely no need to skip tracks on this CD, which is hard to find these days.
Another thing I like about this CD is the production. The music is equally as loud as the voice track. It's not just a pretty voice with ear candy in the background. The rock hits you in the face, giving your speakers a good workout.
BUY IT. Though Greenwheel will be compared to other artists, they have plenty to call their own.

5.0 out of 5 stars Greenwheel's Debut CD "Soma Holiday" holds hit after hit!, July 3, 2002

Greenwheel's debut CD titled, "Soma Holiday" contains hit after hit. The band delivers an incredible rock sound with their souls poured into songs like "Shelter" and "Identity." Other tracks that deserve a great deal of attention are "Dim Halo", "Drowning Man" and "Louder Than Words" to name a few. This band is definitely one of the rising stars to be on the watch for. Their lyrics, combined with the excellent performances of the musicians make for a rock sound that must be listened to over and over again. Contemporary rock bands Default, Injected, and now Our Lady Peace are touring with this hot new band around the country this summer. This is truly a masterful CD that should be part of everyone's collection.
