Just when you think there aren't any new bands coming out worth your time, here comes Quietdrive. Quietdrive deliver some well-crafted, intensely melodic and catchy alternative rock, the best since the likes of Jimmy Eat World or Third Eye Blind. They aren't emo, they aren't retro or pretentious, just good, honest alternative rock. Thanks to producer Butch Walker (who has worked with everyone from Avril Lavigne to Sevendust), Quietdrive's proper debut, "When All That's Left Is You," is a 10 track collection of songs that are both sickeningly professional and widely appealing.

To find a negative in the album is impossible. This is, quite simply, music that is hard not to love. No, Quietdrive are not the most original band out there, but they are reviving a sound that is practically dead in today's alternative rock wasteland. Like something out of the late-90's, where bands like Everclear and Matchbox 20 ruled the world, they pull out all the stops on their debut by making every song a hit. "Take A Drink On Me," in my estimation, is the catchiest on the album, with others such as "Rise From The Ashes" and a well done cover of Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time" living up to the same quality. "Both Ways," the closing track, is the obligatory prom-night anthem, making this effort destined for greatness. It's a short little album (with the shortness being the only complaint), but it sure packs a punch. It's amazing that the mainstream hasn't caught onto Quietdrive, but it wouldn't be surprising if we didn't start hearing more of them soon. It's definitely an album that anyone who appreciates a good song should check out. I challenge you not to be roped in by "When All that's Left Is You."

When you listen to this album for the first time, it is way too hard to resist not listening to it again. You're just so full of awe and amazement by all of the songs, with the guitars, pianos, strings, and awesome vocalization that you want to listen to all the songs over and over again. This album is by far my favorite this year and it will be for a very long time. Take a listen to these guys--You won't regret it! They're way too talented for words! =] --Shannon

before listening to this cd i read the reviews about it to give an idea of what this album is all about, and i couldn't agree anymore with most of them......this cd is excellent , all the tracks are really good , i'm sure you will feel the same way, id bet my laptop you will....haha

I was waiting on the edge of my seat for this album to come out. When it finally did, it was even better then i thought it would be. The lyrics are so thought out, and the music is incredible to go with it. Buy This Album now!!!

If you love Jimmy Eat World, The Ataris and Fall Out Boy, you're gun love their music. It's catchy, upbeat, and quality music to listen to especially when you're cruising' on the highway. Kevin's voice is to die for. It sounds so sincere and you can totally relate to the lyrics. Their cover of Time After Time is AMAZING, but ofcourse I must say "Rise of the Ashes" is one of those songs that you can't help yourself singing in the shower.

I actually heard of Quiet Drive, when they came and played at my college! After hearing them I was really impressed with what I heard. While this CD defiently wont take your breath away its defifently a great cd to add to your collection with plenty of great hooks and catchy lyrics. This is a band you are going to want to watch out for in 2006!

I picked this CD up because of the "Time after Time" track and quickly found myself singing along with all the other songs too.

This has got to be one of the best albums I've purchased in a while. It is definitely worth every penny, quite refreshing.

Good record. But unfortunately the quality of the tracks fades a bit towards the end.

Since first giving this album a listen only 2 weeks ago, they have cemented their position as one of my favorites if not my favorite band. Great, catchy tunes and lyrics and every song is a quality piece. I'd like to echo previous reviews and say that every song is worth listening to on this album.
