These guys have an ear for interesting melodies and they know what makes a catchy song. This album won't change your life but if you're after something fresh and accessible, here it is.

When I first bought this album and put it into my stereo, I didn't think that 1) I'd listen to the entire album straight through in one sitting and 2) it would still be in my stereo these months later. Every song on this CD plays to a different mix of emotions and feelings and thus, appeals to me no matter what mood I'm in. The mixture of provocative lyrics (that I can deeply related to), the exciting and heart-thumping drum beat (with strategic drum rolls that rip me out of my seat--if i'm still sitting down that is), an active bass line and of course, the ridiculous and inspiring violin lines and solos in every song make this album one of a kind.

after buying this cd i have been listening to it nonstop.  the genres range so far far in this cd it isnt possible to get sick of it and the songs still flow right into eachother.  after owning it for months it has become my alltime favorite cd. the instruments and deep lyrics combine to make such an incredible sound.

This is an amazing album.  I saw ZOX live a few weeks ago, and I bought it there, it's been frequenting my CD player ever since.  The songs on this album are beatifully written by a romantic with a unique and absolutely awesome voice.  My favorite song is ANYTHING BUT FINE, because it is your everyday love song, but not quite, if that can make sense.  It uses simple words to say what others have said, but the way they are combined has such an effect that leaves you overcome with emotion.  The lyrics and the vocals, though, do by no means stand alone, backed by the most awe-inspiring violin that I have ever heard.  At times it's hard to tell that it is a violin. For example the beginning of BIG FISH has a violin introduction that upon first hearing it at the concert, all I could think of was a siren.  Backed by energetic percussion that adds a perfect and unique beat and rhythm to each and every song, but it is definitely not overpowering.  The guitar blends everything together, and gives the music the rock and roll feeling that accompanies some of the most beatiful music I have ever heard.  Dave Matthews Band meets Dispatch meets Led Zepplin meets classic voiolin meets love.  The perfect album for anyone who likes rock and has ever been in love, with someone else, with life, with music.  Pick it up, you won't be dissappointed.
