Release Date: 2002 | Tracklist


01. HIGHLY EVOLVED
A Pretty Short Song, but good all the same. I think it kinda draws the listener in, wanting to hear more, nice soft guitar...cool track.
7.5/10

02. AUTUMN SHADE
A Really Pretty Song, nice soft drums. A Sort of mysterious track, good when your in a kind of weird mood.
8/10

03. OUTTATHAWAY
One Of The Release Singles, Good Track after a nice slow song like the previous one, Craig screams alot in this one! But A Really awesome, i like the singular guitar. And Also the kinda girlish singing in it, pretty cool solo.
8/10

04. SUNSHININ
I Don't know why but this song really reminds me of a few of the von bondies songs, anyhow this has really good guitar, drums are pretty backgroundish, not too loud, good for chilling or something along thos elines. Gets A bit crazy and screamish at times, but hey thats what the vines are all about.
7.5/10

05. HOMESICK
One of the more ballad-y songs of the album, real nice. Really Pretty piano throughout the song, also real relaxing drums and accoustic guitar. I think in this song we begin to hear craig's "singing" voice.
9.5/10

06. GET FREE
Another One of the released singles....AND A ***ING AWESOME SONG. This always gets me pumped up, and always lets me release anger, the drums in this track are so good, genius even. I also love the hole mimic thing going on in the 2nd Verse. And Really awesome musical bridge.
10/10

07. COUNTRY YARD
A Musical Cousin to Autumn Shade, really good guitar in it though. But For some reason i dont fing it as catchy as the other tracks...it doesn't really seem to go anywhere, but has some nice singing in it! Perhaps my least favourite on the album?
6.5/10

08. FACTORY
What a Cool Song, kind of cheers you up after the previous song, awesome bass line, happy guitar...and craig's singing in this is great, and i really like how it kinda slows down real cool. awesome song.
9/10

09. IN THE JUNGLE
Another Mysterious song... really cool lyrics, i like it alot. Gets a bit weird during the middle, but then the guitar comes back in with craig's screaming....hella cool. Really Good Solo, and FANTASTICAL harmonies during bridge....
10/10

10. MARY JANE
This Song makes me a bit sad but i like it, it seems on this album it goes, slow song,fast song,slow,fast etc... Again the piano is used to make a nice addition to the tempo...pretty song.
8/10

11. AIN'T NO ROOM
wow, i really like this song, the guitar is fantastic...and i like how the vocals sound different in this one...but as usual has the screamy chorus, but is way cool...thumbs up.
10/10

12. 1969
Cool kind of mixture of tempo in this one, really good. But Alot like the other tracks on the album....but pretty awesome. Has A nice little bass fill throughout the song, really good lyrics also.
7.5/10


Overall a really good album i recommend it to anyone whos a fan of the white stripes, the strokes, and other bands of that genre, also check out The Black Keys, Von Bondies or The Datsuns, id you like this kinda stuff....Real Cool
peace out.

i loved this album but i have no reason why. The singer has a stoned look about him tho, reminds me of the singer from the stone rosesThis Message Edited On 10.07.05

Sorry, but that review wasn't really that good. I agree with NuMetalMania, we need to hear more about the band.

Get Free is great.
