5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best bands out there, October 29, 2004

By	Brian Maula "Brian" (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Definitely a keeper. I listen to a lot of emo, and this isn't your typical emo: the lyrics are well thought-out, it gives the listener a sense of hope which is nice considering that emo is generally very depressing.

These guys know how to play their instruments well: it's not overwhelming, the music flows very smoothly from verse to chorus to bridge. I like their style of playing, it's detailed but not overwhelming. The depth of their songs is due to its simplicity - less is more.

Do buy this CD, I promise you that it will be a definite keeper in your shelf.

4.0 out of 5 stars Captured, February 11, 2005

By	Adam J. Stout (Grand Rapids, MI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Textured, sweeping, dreamy and beautiful. It's obvious that Sleeping At Last put thought into the production of this disc as well as the lyrics. The songs are filled with such a depth that one can enjoy it on the first, second, and one hundred and second listen. I hate to compare and say fans of Coldplay will like this band, but I think they will.

5.0 out of 5 stars Longtime Fan, January 14, 2004

By	Jessica (Chicago) - See all my reviews

Let's get this out of the way: Sleeping at Last is amazing. Plain and simple. The guys are kind, courteous and gracious to their fans. They've grown a lot over the past few years; Ryan no longer says "Thank you" at every interval possible. The music has changed, they've progressed in their talents and their lyrics, and they keep reaching. "Ghosts" is their most recent release to date, and the best. "Capture" was a great cd, but lacked something. "Ghosts" makes up for everything. Yes, yes, the soaring vocals are great, the music flows and dances, it's amazing. But when everything is put together in one package you cannot help but stand back and just absorb it. If you ever have a chance to see this band live, see them. You will appreciate every minute of it. Since I first saw them play in '99 they have changed; they've gotten so much better, and they still send shivers down my spine. At their 1-13-04 concert at the Metro in Chicago they had a string quartet play with them, and that was a huge moment in "local band" history. These guys are amazing, period. Buy the cd, listen to it, support them, email them, anything. They're wonderful musicians and incredible people.
