Keep in mind as you read this that I may be a bit outside the band's main target audience: I'm pushing 50 and have your typical corporate job. That said, I've been a fan of this band since I first saw them perform at the now-defunct Jillian's in Long Beach, CA. They were great then and this latest release just reinforces what I learned at that show. Their's is the kind of music that you can easily lose yourself in, getting mentally and emotionally carried along with it. The lyrics you find in each of the songs here are thoughtful and creative, and paint a picture that is easily seen in the mind's eye. The musicianship is as sharp as ever, and the sound is not -- thankfully -- overproduced, a common failing among local or unsigned bands with studio access.

This CD goes with me everywhere.

This CD is masterfully crafted.  From a production standpoint, it is perfect.  The playing is very tight, and each instrument sits comfortably with the others.  It is the song writing, however, that shines here.  Each song has a little surprise, a clever musical twist or turn, an unexpected rhythmic or melodic phrase.  The lyrics are at times overtly clever, shockingly honest, and sometimes both.  The album, as a whole, maintains a cohesiveness yet provides the occasional diversion from the wall of guitars with an acoustic guitar here, or a piano there.  I'm sure that repeated listenings, and some time with the lyrics, will make Blowing Over a rich source of enjoyment.

I had heard the track Simultaneous on a compilation CD a few years back and have been craving more of their music. This album is well worth the wait.  Thought provocating lyrics and a hard-rocking beat on every song.  I would highly recommend this CD to everyone.
