5.0 out of 5 stars Most inspiring album ever, January 9, 2001
By Manuel (Roubaix, France) - See all my reviews
This album is too wonderful to be perfectly described. It is the essence of emocore: a truthful, touching music, and almost every album by Far is as emotionnally fantastic. My favorite song ever would probably be Job's Eyes. Gets you through all feelings, from anger to happiness, melancholy to self-confidence. Too bad they didn' t have a chance to be known worldwide, but that' s the fate of real music. A must-hear.

5.0 out of 5 stars my favourite album, period., April 14, 2000
By deadsyhead (manchester uk) - See all my reviews
I've owned this CD for around 2 years now, and in all honesty I can truly say that this album is possibly the GREATEST album of the 90s.

For all those who thought that "Issues" by Korn was full of emotion and frustration, then tracks like "What I've Wanted To Say" and "Job's Eyes" will make you think on a whole different wavelength.

An album for all occasions- parties, romantic backing music.... You can't go wrong. Jonah's voice is beautiful also.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best band you never heard, May 24, 1999
By A Customer
Tin Cans with strings to you, is an album by the Sacramento based Far. This album is just oozing emotion and feelings. It is very smooth and fluctuates from quick songs like Love American Style, which questions what we see on T.V. and how much of it we believe, to the slow, beautifully painful Job's eye(the albums highlight) that almost brings me to tears to this day. It has an edge for real rockers,but is so down low and grooving that any true music fan could appreciate. Unfortunately very few people know of this band which I consider to be like one of the greatest bands currently out there. Overall this cd is fabulous and should be listened to by all.
