 | Get It, You Will Not Regret It Dec 19, 2008 |
This CD is great! There are maybe 1 or 2 of the tracks that i will probably not ever listen to unless I'm just playing the whole CD in sequence and is also the reason it didn't get a full 5 stars (if i could have i would have given it 4.5), but the rest of the songs are really good. Great vocals, catchy lyrics and choruses, good beat, nice rhythm. There are very few CD's that i listen to or buy because I'm picky about music, and i do not like just one genre of music, but this is one of those CD's that i will be able to listen to over and over.
The thing i like about this band/CD is that unlike a lot of newer rock/punk/whateveryouwantocallit music/bands of recent years, that although may be good and have a nice sound, are forgettable. This is NOT that... this band/CD stuck in my head after the first time i listened to it.
It's a MUST buy. |

| Fantastic and Fun Album Aug 28, 2008 |
I'm usually not a pop punk guy, but I could not pull this album out of my car for well over a month. The songs have a lot of energy and are incredibly catchy, the singer is fantastic with his pitch and creativity without relying too much on sappy hooks, the production value is outstanding, there's just nothing bad about this album. I'd give standout tracks, but honestly there aren't any sinkers. And I'll take ten short but great songs over three amazing songs and nine fillers.
These guys probably won't be huge because mainstream radio doesn't acknowledge Christian or pop-punk music, but they deserve to be. Recommended for fans of Mayday Parade, Something Corporate, Jimmy Eat World. |

| One of my new favorites Jul 22, 2008 |
I originally bought this album just wanting some high-energy post-punk songs to kind of expand that particular genre in my collection. I never expected the band to be this good. Right when you start the opening track ("Sun of a Gun") and here the very first drum fill you understand just how good these guys are.
This album has a definate indie/post-punk feel to it that is very rare to find. The guitar craft throughout is fantastic, the vocals sound great, and the lyrics are very creative and avoid your typical cliches. One of the most stand-out parts of this album is their usage of the hardcore breakdowns in catchy songs. They do this right on the first track and also many other times throughout the album. This is one of the bands where the double bass pedal just obviously sticks out in the beat.
All-in-all I would say that of the post-punk genre, these guys are now one of my favorites. |

| An Amazing Debut May 24, 2008 |
| I haven't had this much fun listening to a CD in a long time. Every track is worth listening to, and each is unique. My favorites: Ambulance Chaser, and the wonderful Clocks And Timepieces. This is a band that has serious potential, and the rare combination of equally strong members. Vocals, guitar, percussion...they all keep up with each other. Okay, if you enjoy bands like Anberlin, Paramore, Quietdrive, etc., you will love Search The City. |
