First of all I just wanted to say thank you to Alex Band for never giving up on this record. It was a long time coming and what we got was a powerful, heartfelt, make you feel feelings you haven't felt in a long time kind of album. The Calling has meant alot to me ever since I picked up Camino Palmero when I was eleven. I know alot of people said that Camino Palmero was an album that was just meant for the mainstream and it was not given credibility, but I to this day think differently. There were some truly beautiful songs on it and I still listen to it and I still feel it was a gem that people dismissed to easily.
"Two" was a breakthrough in my opinion. It got me through some tough times and I would sing along and I could truly feel the emotion that Alex sang with. I never skip a song when I listen to "Two," and it is still heavy in my rotation. "Two" never got a chance to shine like it should have, because I truly feel that The Calling would have had staying power if the world had just appreciated those two records. It's kind of like how people are willing to stick with Lifehouse and they have been around for awhile and it would have been the same with The Calling I think.
"We've All Been There" is quite accomplishment for Alex Band. He managed to stay familiar enough that people who love The Calling will still love this album, but it is also different enough that it can stand alone as a true Alex Band album and not just 'that singer from The Calling putting out a solo record.'
Thank you Alex Band for this and I hope you truly are given the recognition you richly deserve for being one of the most unique voices and insightful songwriters in rock music for this generation. Some might call it rock for girls but I call it music at it's finest. It makes you feel and I think that is what is most important.

After years of dealing with record company bull Alex is delivering an incredibly solid piece of work that will leave rock/pop lovers wanting more. It has solid hard hitters like We've All Been There, catchy pop tunes like Tonight and Forever Yours, slower but powerful songs like What Is Love. It's got plenty for listeners. I wholeheartedly recommend the purchase of this CD; MP3s are great but you can never get the best out of any release until you get a hard copy.

I normally don't write reviews or give feedback online, but I feel this CD is worth the little effort and time it takes to tell others that if you don't own this new release, you are truly missing out on "music to your ears" in the purest, truest sense of the word. I am a fan of rock, alternative rock, and some mainstream artists...but I can honestly say that nothing I've ever heard compares to Alex Band's vocal range and the way he marries that instrument to his superbly written lyrics and music. In an age of the airwaves being infiltrated by pop-can music, hip-hop, and rap, it is refreshing to hear an artist who has gifted us with what "music" really should be. This is a CD you can pop in and play from beginning to end without skipping to get to the "good" songs. Each and every song is excellent, and it's actually difficult to pick a favorite, as each song provides something unique and enjoyable. The more you listen, the more addicted you will become!
As an aside, I also discovered that Alex Band's official website offers a 5-song EP and a Live in Brazil audio DVD that is not available in stores - both also definitely worth the purchase!

More romantic than The calling
This album is less rock than the ones from "The calling" times. It's more melodic and romantic with slower songs. Read more
