like I said, it was more of a passing glance, listened to one or two songs, once through and it sounded pretty generic to me. Perhaps it's not though.

where have you heard it before, done better? not because i'm questioning that you did, but because i'd like to listen to it and enjoy it. if it is along the same lines as Obadiah Parker, i'd probably really like it.

Got it

Listened to it

Loved it



Every track is just gorgeous.

Unfortunately I do see where thebhoy is coming from, some of the songs do have a radio-rock vibe. You know how at the end of every drama like "Bones" or "Grey's Anatomy" they have that calm, melancholy acoustic song? This fits in that category almost perfectly, so I can understand how some would see this as "generic".



I might write a review for this, I'll see how it goes. Currently I think a soundoff would be better, but I dunno.

^i can agree with that. at least in its generic parts its still beautiful though.



..and you def. should write either a soundoff or a review. i wanna see what other people think of this..do they like it? is it just me? etc.

...oh and i also like to keep in mind that the whole thing is live. The acoustics and the overall sound are breathtaking.

That part really interests me, apart from the applause and the small "thank you" Weddle says at some point there is nothing to indicate it's a live album. Everything is crystal clear, everything can be heard as clearly as is needed, and there are very few mistakes. It's something I really like about it, that this can be treated as their debut album.



The review should be written and posted by Monday, I got a lot of shit to do but I've already written half of it so it won't take me that long.

oh wow. i assumed by the title and all the identical-sounding youtube videos of them that this was played live (even if in an intimate, enclosed area, such as those aol sessions and stuff). i wasn't sure though, so i didn't say anything about it in my review.



i'll look forward to reading your take on it
