You may think this is another ordinary rock cd, but it certainly is not. This Cd is brilliant from start to finish. With its catchy guitar progressions and hooky vocal phrasings, this band is sure to be around for the long haul. It has been a long time since a new band in this era has put out an overall phenomenal CD like this one. This disk is full of raw emotions and passion so well constructed, it is easy to see why the fans cant get enough of this band. From the hard rocking tracks of Miss you and Not Waiting For Goodbye to the beautiful ballads of Too Late and Waiting, this CD is a must have for any true music fan. Highlights also include the first radio single, The Question.

First of all i love this cd, it is my favorite of all time. I love his voice and the simplicity of his lyrics that catch and hook you throught the whole cd.
But after familiar 48 broke up jayy(the lead singer) is making a new cd and has the first single on his website to listen to. I have listen to it and it rocks check it out at Jayymannon.com

Buy this and the next cd and you wont be dissapointed!

This is the best band you have never heard of. I can't compare them to anybody, because nobody sounds this good from front to back of a cd....If you like creed, tonic, dishwalla, july for kings, greenwheel, collapsis, nickleback, etc.. You will love this cd and soon will love it alot more than the above bands latest efforts. I am a HUGE creed fan, but this band is better from front to back of the cd. I have no clue why they are not popular. ... I'm telling you buy this cd right now.

Either A.) there's glue in my discman, or B.) this album is so good, it won't come out. Yes... definitely B.)

"Wonderful Nothing" is a refreshing change from today's world of processed Nu-Metal and Bubblegun Pop. Familiar 48 is able to write and play music that is original and sounds amazing. Every song has a hook that is a mile wide, and the entire CD deserves to be a radio single. Watch this band claw their way to the top in the near future. Familiar 48 is here to stay :)

I bought this cd and listen to it everyday. Its a cd that you can pop in and listen to it all the way through. Each number has something you grab on to and want to hear over and over again. I would recommend buying this cd if you like creed or those deep vocals familiar 48 puts out. Personal Favorites #'s 2,3,5,6, and 11. But all of them are great.

Days seeing the band getting in the clubs at 16 with fake ID, now 12 years later. It is great to see a band from the local area to make it big. Philadelphia one of the best avenues for new talent, I have seen bands come and go for years, and F-48 still have the same great style and heat as they did when they first started. Their style and sound can be labeled as similar to groups of today, but there are not many cd's you can put in and listen to the whole thing. This CD brings out the emotion and love in all of us, and each lyric you can relate to in some way or another. Don't worry Jayy I will never auction those signed CD's on E-bay....Great Job guys.

When first putting this CD into my headphone cd player, I was suprised of such good quality off a debut album. The lyrics were fresh, instrument playing was tight, and the singing itself wasn't bad. This group did remind me of Default and Nickelback a bit, but for the most part they are making a good name for themselves. Since these sort of bands are big right now (Lifehouse, The Calling, Default, etc) I think this band will be right alongside of them. Not that it's a bad thing.

Maybe this type of music has been repeated over and over again but if you a fan of it then it never gets old. If every band had to have their own original style of music then we wouldnt hear many different bands. Wonderful Nothing hits home with its great emotional content. Anyone who has been in and out love with someone can truly relate with this album. Must own this CD.

They're not overly talented at playing their instruments and there's no groundbreaking producing on the album but it's decent and a couple of the songs, most notably "the question", "on my own" and "i know" are the type that get stuck in your head if they're the last song you hear as you exit your car. sure they sound somewhat similar to bush, creed, live, goo goo dolls, and about four-dozen other bands, but how diverse and original can you expect a genre of music which utilizes 3 chords, the guitar-bass-drum formula and teen angst. they're not exactly blazing an original trail but not every band can be A Nirvana, Beatles, or a Metallica in terms of inventing a sound. if you want a good album which you'll find yourself humming and singing along with grab it.

These guys have created an awesome CD! Unlike a lot of albums, every song is great on "Wonderful Nothing". They put on a fantastic show. This is a MUST HAVE cd & don't miss them live!
This is just the begining of a very successful career in the music industry for these guys!
