5.0 out of 5 stars Regardless of what some people say, this is an awesome CD..., December 6, 2003

A lot of people don't like this CD because it's softer than their other ones. While I don't have "Speakeasy" (yet) I do have "Friction" and I like this one ten times more than "Friction" (even tho I'd still give that one a high score too). Mark's voice is amazing and he makes the band. His lyrics are awesome too... deep and thought provoking. While I do admit musically this CD is a little more simplistic than "Friction" (not much, though), it works for the songs. "Blind Hope", "World To Wait" and "Yes" are lump-in-the-throat worthy. The only track on here that isn't as good as the rest is "Night Town"... not their best. Other than that, it's a solid, powerful hard rock album. It may not be "hardcore" or "metal" or whatever, and it may be different sounding then their other stuff, but maybe they WANTED it that way, artistically. I'm sure they don't care whether or not we like their "new sound", it's what they wanted to do.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best so far, October 3, 2002

This self-titled offering on Nitro continues the band's transition from the Tool-esque sound of "Absolutes" to the more accessible melodic (if not quite pop) sound of "Speakeasy". There's melody and emotion, and the guitars absolutely roar! Standouts include Blind Hope, which absolutely rocks, the confessional Why Good People Suffer, the quiet Yes and the exhilirating World to Wait. This is easily Stavesacre's best record!

All Stavesacre does is put out one great album after another. This is a great CD and there are no weak tracks. Heavy and melodic, with excellent lyrical content.
