This is Dispatch's most musical album. You will be amazed after listening to it just once. It incorpoates all of their influences into one crazy, funky, wild album. "Who Are We Living For?" asks exactly just that. I guess Dispatch didn't know who their aduience was when they made this album so they made it for everyone. It's reggae, hard rock, funky, and folk influences flow magically through its 17 tracks. Their first 3 albums had distinctive sounds: "Silent Steeples" is highly acoustic; "Bang Bang" is highly funky; "Four-Day Trials" captures their live sound. This album is nothing like that. It's better! Their vocal songs are interlaced with several unique instrumentals. "Open Up" is probably the best song on the album. It has a reggae influences and a funky beat. "Time Served" and "Headlights" bring out their harder influences. Lyrically, this album is innovative. Instrumentally it's wild. They have a song entirely comprised of percussion. Probably their most catchy tune is "Even." It will get stuck in your head forever. If you like music you will love this album. I suggest checking out their previous albums as well. This band is the one band out there today that can do it any which way you want it. They put so much energy into their performances; on stage and in the studio. If you don't go out and check this band and this album out you are selling yourself short.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great CD, but not for new Dispatch listeners, July 29, 2001

The CD is great -- it has masterfully intertwined lyrical songs and instrumentals. I would stray from it if all the Dispatch you have heard is The General or Elias; you know, more of their acoustic genre. Some great tracks, including Carry You, Open Up, Headlights, and Mission are on this one. It takes a few times through the album before you really catch on, but before long I promise that you will be humming along or drumming your fingers to the beat.

Dispatch formally known as One Fell Swoop has matured into a great band. Their earlier music was great, but with each new CD they surpass themselves. The new music displays the growth in talent and experience they have gained in the years. I recommend all their CD's, but don't miss out on their older CD's under the name One Fell Swoop with hits like The General and Bats in the Bellfry. This CD is great so buy it!
