Having been a fan of all kinds of music since i was old enough to hear I have to say that the Michael E. Thomas band is the best new music I have heard in years. The album not only rocks but the creative genious on some of the more eclectic tunes shows that the artist truely is playing from the heart and not just trying to get played on the radio, although Broken Hearted and Honeychild should be top forty hits. The only thing better than listening to the album is to see the band live. They are very selective about where and when they play so if you get the chance to see them you better go, you will not be disappointed!

Creative combination of rock and blues with a touch of jazz - energetic music, great vocals & harmonies, awesome musicians, and great meaning to each and every song!

I had never heard this guy before getting this album nor am i michael e thomas or have any affiliation with michael e thomas. But oh my god this guy is amazing a song writing genious, guitar virtuoso and working class hero. Every pause in the album makes you ask the question could the next song be better and oh my god the answer is yes. Brokenhearted could well be the new Diamond knights. Hearing this album is like hearing REO speedwagon's High infidelity for the first time. It seminal its hip and it'll make you wanna dance the night away.

seriously what are you doing?!!!!!! you have distroyed music for me get a LIFE!!! When bullets fly what where you smoking when you wrote this i have never heard so much drivle like omg dance of kavala, when bullets fly sounds as if a mentally retarded hick wrote it in 10 mins you sir are a discrace to the music industry!

I think this guys other stuff is brilliant but this album is his physical grafetti. The title track has clearly been inspired by his time spent in war torn Belfast, trying to cut his chops as a blues guitarist. Brokenhearted is raw and seminal while dance of Kavita is a passionate heartfelt love song. E Thomas is the thinking mans Eddie Vedder.

After purchasing all of the bands albums and seen them on many occasions it has led me to realise how poor and infantile michaels song writting ability is. Dont get me wrong he is an amazing guitarist but when he opens his mouth and that dribble comes out it just makes me cringe. So i say, come on michael give up the song writting(your no bob dylan) and stick to being an exceptional lead guitarist!!!!

FINALLY!! A fresh new sound. When Bullets Fly is a combination of talent, creativity and artistic vision! I can't take it out of my cd player. This is one of the best albums I've heard in ages. Watch this one, he's going places!!!

Michael and I have known each other since I was 5 years old, so it is impossible not to be biased on his work. He is a long term friend and former band mate. He also taught me alot about playing the guitar and writing guitar solos. I would compare this work to Santana's "Supernatural" album. It is creative and goes in many directions. You can sample his influence on PT & The Ghost Notes album, "I Know What I Want" on the ghostnotes web site.
