Worth Waiting For, April 3, 2002
Tonight and Forever will delight those who enjoy an upbeat band with male vocals and thoughtful lyrics. All of the songs are around 3 minutes long, so the album moves along quickly. "Fun Never Ends" starts the CD off to a bang. "Save Yourself," my personal favorite and the single popularized by its appearance on video networks and television shows, is a beautiful tune with lyrics reminding children and adults alike to save themselves for someone who cherishes them. "Beatles Song" is loved by my friends who like The Beatles and/or Phantom Planet. Another favorite of mine is "Weight Of The World," perfect for those days when everything falls on your shoulder and you just want to escape. Sense Field's style will appeal to a wide variety of people, from Duncan Sheik fans and Jimmy Eat World groupies to Fuel aficionados and Vertical Horizon supporters.

How often should you listen to this album?, March 30, 2002
The answer to that question is also the title of the album. "Tonight and Forever" is a beacon of light in an otherwise emotion-deprived music industry. Foresaking the metal/rap and corporate-punk stylings of most hard rock bands these days, Sense Field prove to rise above with one of the best (and most underrated) albums of 2001. Often tagged as an "emo-core" band, they definitely inject an intense emotion into the music and mix it with well-crafted melodies, poetic lyrics, and straight-up hard rock. Hard-edge songs like "Fun Never Ends" and "No Longer Now" counter the more finely-crafted, melodic "Here Right Here" and "Beatles Song." The highlight of the album (and the current single) is "Save Yourself," a ballad that cries out against one-night stands and actually advocates saving yourself for someone who will cherish you, not forget you. The best part of the song is that the passion behind it is genuinely conveyed and thus, the song does not come off as the obligatory-power-ballad-by-tough-guys. (Ironically, the album's closer is called "Love Song" and is by far the album's best representation of the hardcore side of "emo-core.) In "Tonight and Forever," Sense Field have created an album for anyone who truly appreciates a balance of raw intensity and quiet sensitivity, but without the aftertaste of watered-down mainstream pop rock. Save yourself from buying an album in the Top 40; the best one is here, right here.

5.0 out of 5 stars
beautiful rock and roll, January 2, 2003
I bought this record on the basis of one recommendation and the single "Save Yourself," which I heard on the radio. I wasn't expecting anything phenomenal, and I was astounded at how good the album was. Every song contains extremely strong melodies and beautiful music that are a far cry from the reused drivel you hear so often, especially on new releases. The style is atmospheric rock with a little power pop, combining heavy guitars with a texture-rich tapestry of sounds. Vocalist Jon Bunch has an amazing clear voice, and the lyrics are very good, often quite poignant. Highlights are "Here Right Here," "Weight of the World," and "What Never Dies," a soaring anthem asserting that governmental machinations can never fully crush the human spirit.
To sum it up, I highly recommend this album, especially to fans of Third Eye Blind's emotive "Blue," Guided by Voices, and Radiohead. It should also be noted that the lyrics are pleasantly devoid of foul or explicit language.
