Fun, fun, fun!

If at all possible, listen to this CD while driving with the top down! It's awesome road trip music, but it's also nice to chill to. Jeremy Babcock's vocals are strong and rich and the harmonies are perfectly melodic. I've really enjoyed listening to this CD.

The lyrics are poetic and sensitive, and the instrumentation is very good.

I want you to know that your songs are quite appealing.
The lyrics are very poetic and sensitive, and the instrumentation is very
good. Several of the songs, The Wire from the Radio, Everyone's So Sensitive, and Kiss Me Quick, have such a good rock beat that they make me want to get up and dance - they are catchy.
My Best of Disk vote would go to Falling Away II, which has
wonderful guitar work, wonderful lyrics and lovely
sound overall. I'm generally more aware of the music than the words
until I've heard something several times, and this one has a sound
that attracts me.
I am very familiar with the creative process, and can appreciate what it takes to write songs and then make them into finished products. Congratulations!

harmony-filled heartbreak and happiness
author: jenna
These songs will slip into your heart while you're not thinking and then find their way into your head. Here, they will inspire thought and provoke the honesty they convey if you're lucky, but mostly if you're open. Jeremy's lyrics are littered with sorrow but always tinged with a bit of hope. The harmonies that Jeremy and Shawn share with us on these songs will jump out at you, but they are backed here by a few more layers of pleasure...the adept drumming of Dan Hoffman and the attentive bass of Mr. Michael Doty work to pump these songs up at least a notch or two above what one might expect from a singer-songwriter these days. The addition of some guitar work by Michael Schenkelberg and violin from Gerry Field serve to round out the instrumentation here and make this a very realized first album from a band that is only getting better. One of the better first efforts from such a straightforward singer-songwriter outfit I have heard in a while. I recommend it highly.
