Well Worth The Money, November 22, 2006
Unlike many people, I don't actually like Falling Up. My two best friends and my little brother on the other hand, practically worship them. When Exit Lights came out, I was completely certain that I'd hate it, so you can imagine my surprise when I listened to the first fifteen seconds of Islander and immediately asked Kristin if I could borrow it. Alas, I had to return it to her yesterday, but that only means that I have to go shopping in a few hours and buy the CD for myself.
Remixes suck, you say? Believe me, I couldn't agree with you MORE.
Is this one any good? HELL. YES.
Don't like remixes? Buy Exit Lights anyways.
Loathe Falling Up with a passion? Buy the dang CD anyway!!!!
I promise you, you'll be blown away. As another reviewer mentioned, Falling Up actually DID remix their songs. The tempo, music, and vocals are all exquisit and far better than the originals (in my opinion). If you enjoy listening to songs that have clean lyrics, addictive beats, and brilliant music, I encourage you to look up this CD.

A Remix Album Actually Worth Buying!!, October 3, 2006
Falling up does it again with a remix album that is truly creative! This is not just the same songs dubbed over with a funky dance beat, these songs have many times totally been remixed including the tempo, vocals, guitars and drums. The result is a fresh look at some of their hits from the past two albums as well as a new song and some new instrumental songs.
"The Islander" is the new song and it is an amazing mix of keyboards, guitars, and Falling Up's soaring vocals, it kicks off the album with a bang. Another great remix is "Exit Calypsan" which starts off with an electronic sound and kicks it up on the chorus. Most of the songs are unique enough to listen to and not sound old or overplayed. The only exception I found is "Moonlit" which starts out with a very funny voice over, but then gets sounding too hip-hop for me, but it's my opinion. The rest are fantastic.
The sound is truly unique and the layered mixing of keyboard, synth, piano and beats just really flows. If you like Falling Up then check this album out and even if you don't and want to go for a sort of industrial/electronic rock sounding album then don't hesistate to buy Exit Lights!

Way better than their actual albums!, May 26, 2008
Like the previous reviewer's have said. This is a remix album that does not suck. It actually improves upon the original songs vastly.
Even if you do not like Falling up you will like this album.
It is that good.
