This is by far one of the best albums overall that I have heard in the past few years! Most groups put out an album with a limited number of good songs mixed with a few "fillers"... this entire album is GREAT! I cannot get enough of it. It has become one of my all time favorites and I feel lucky that I stumbled upon it...

There have been few albums I've listened to that I have been able to be so immersed and so closely identifying with the lyrics and musical stylings that this album truly stands out to me. You know how every once in a while you hear something that just calls out to you, that you identify with and that resonates with you? This is what happened for literally track on the album for me.

My appreciation of Passenger began with the "Walk You Home" track from the Tap Tap game on the iPhone- its catchy musical styling was immediately stuck in my head. From there I went to the website and listened to the entire selection they had available, and then went to YouTube and listened to all the music I could find online by them.

This is the first album I've bought in over a year. I usually buy music in pieces through iTunes, but I made an exception for this album, and I think it's the best album purchase I've ever made.

A local station played "Night Vision Binoculars" a while back which my wife introduced me to. It led me to search for this album. I now have it and I must say, this album is solid start to finish. A couple of songs are subpar when compared to the others, but all in all its worthy of a listen from any audiophile.

"Table for One" and "Night Vision Binoculars" are my two favorites but several are outstanding. The lyrics to both are great with the latter possibly becoming the anthem for stalkers everywhere, haha.

It's hard to comprehend why they don't get more airplay than they do. I hope to hear more from them in the future.

I loved this band from the first moment I heard them. Catchy music, great lyrics, and it all works to well together. They remind me a lot of the The Smiths.
