Zox Rox my Sox, October 4, 2005
A friend told me about Zox one year ago, and my musical life has never been the same. I must say that they have the most original sound that I have heard lately. "The Wait" carries the tradition of Zox excellent that began with "Take Me Home". The edgy guitar intro to "Thirsty" catches you in the heart, and the emotional violin throughout "Anything But Fine" tears the heart right out. However, "Can't Look Down" has to be the most uplifting song I've heard in years, and my friends and I sing it at the top of our lungs over and over again in our small dorm room. "The Wait" is most certainly this year's must buy album.

Not surprisingly, the best!!!!!, December 5, 2005
Zox SERIOUSLY brings so much talent to the table, whether it be on stage or on CD. I was so anxious to buy The Wait, after enjoying the classic Take Me Home CD. I was lucky to preview many of the songs on The Wait at live shows, but now I can listen to the wonderful melodies any time I want! Many people seem to really like "Anything But Fine", "Carolyn", and "Thirsty" as the pinpoint songs on this album. All 3 of these songs demonstrate amazing musical ability and they are wonderful for a full fluctuation of moods. My personal favorites, though, are "Fallen," "A Little More Time," and "Spades." "Fallen" is incredible, and the back-up vocals are amaaazing. I love the beat to it and the entire mood behind the song. It all just flows so perfectly. "A Little More Time" is so upbeat it could make me smile after stubbing my toe. Eli's voice sparkles in this song. "Spades" has great back-up vocals as well, but my favorite part of this song is the percussion. The drumming is fantastic and fun!
Every member of Zox adds sooo much to the unique sound of the band, and this CD proves it in every way. I cannot WAIT for their next CD, and this one makes a star appearance in my car, computer, discman and life! If you like this, go out and buy Take Me Home as well!!! It is very different, but you are sure to love it as well!

impressive, September 3, 2005
I wasn't so big on Take Me Home. But The Wait, three years to be exact, is worth it. This album is better written AND produced. The group sounds cleaner. The arrangement builds and falls in a unique way, structurally different than the typical rock band. The instrumental sections draw as many ears as the catchy chorus hooks. Zox uses a wide range of styles, from folky violin melodies to hard rock jams, helping me separate each song from the next The lead singer has a powerful voice. At his highpoints I can really feel the emotion (*Carolyn *Can't Look Down). Not to mention, the melody and counterpoint of the album create memorable jingles in your head. Well worth the investment. I wish Zox the best of luck promoting this album, spreading the wealth around the nation, and into a major labels hands.
