4.0 out of 5 stars Life is Beautiful, December 7, 2006

I first heard "Life is Beautiful" on Grey's Anatomy and once I found out the name of the group, I listened to other songs from this CD on their website and liked them. Their sound is similar to Snow Patrol, Coldplay and other British groups that I like so I decided I'd give them a try. The price on Amazon was so outrageous (and it's gone up $6 since I bought it), I checked out the Amazon UK site and found that with the exchange rate and even paying for airmail shipping, it was cheaper to buy it there. I saved over $5 at that time (and based on the current cost I've saved over $10). My CD arrived in just a few days and it has been well worth it. Other than my favorite, "Life is Beautiful" which is similar to Snow Patrol's "Chasing Cars, some of the other highlights are Traffic Jam, Bullets, and Let It Go. If you like Snow Patrol, take a chance and buy this CD (but buy it from Amazon UK!).

6/11/2007 The current price is substantially less than the price I paid and mentioned in my review 6 months ago (previously dated December 8, 2006--prior to this update). It was more than twice the current amount which is in the normal price range for CDs as of this date. I still highly recommend it and am glad to see that Vega4 has started getting more US fans. I'm occasionally hearing "Life is Beautiful" played on the radio and even in a restaurant today. There is so much more to the CD that is worth listening too so I hope people will buy the CD and love it as much as I do.

I'm enjoy Indie/Alternative bands and I decided to venture out and try new bands. I listened to one of the songs from Vega4 and enjoyed it so I bought the CD. At first I was a bit disappointed but the CD quickly intrigued me and I now love it.
