5.0 out of 5 stars Great album., May 27, 2009

This is such an awesome Christian band. Their unique sound is like a mixture of Radiohead & U2. I love when bands use strings in their instrumentation like these guys have. Their song "Close Your Eyes" is so moving. The feel of this song somewhat reminds me of Switchfoot's song "You". The song "Closer to Me" is another favorite of mine from this album. It's like a really cool waltz. There's something about songs in ¾- time that I love. You can tell that they pay attention to every detail in each of their songs. Very well done.

I hadn't heard of this band till I attended a service they played at. The music is anthemic and driving....ethereal and beautiful. I love the fact that they use instruments that buck the conventional wisdom in rock and roll.

I've heard a good deal of negative press on this album, and frankly, I'm a bit puzzled. Sure, it's ambitious and perhaps a trifle too epic, but those are traits to love, not criticize.

The lead singer Eric Owyoung handles production alone and creates the kind of atmosphere in which his killer melodies can shine. Those who have enjoyed Future of Forestry's past efforts will recognize the poetic lyricism, unconventional arrangements, and climactic moments that carve out a place for this album (you can scarcely call it an EP) in an already impressive oeuvre.

Let's just say I'm thrilled that this is only the first of 3 forthcoming EPs this year.
