I Love This Band
author: Lindsay Smith
I discovered Carbon Leaf after a friend put "On Any Given Day" on a mix for me, and I have fallen hard for this band! They have other excellent albums, but this one is a really good introduction to their unique style. It's hard to describe what makes them so special because they're basically just a folk/rock band from VA, but they transcend the genre. For me, it's the songwriting - the lyrics are so evocative and so perfectly folded into the melodies, and the band's arrangements and harmonies just make it the songs sound so RIGHT. The music is a mix of catchy, upbeat, and melancholy, so this CD fits pretty much any mood. This band is my favorite discovery of 2009.

Outstanding
author: Mark
This CD starts out great and improves. It's over an hour long and contains an extra track.
The songs have lots of energy and a unique sound.
I have listened to it several times in the first week, which is unusual for me.
I loned it to a friend, and had to go get it after two days, because I needed to listen to it again.
