An undiscovered gem

(4 out of 5 stars)
"I normally don't write too many CD reviews, because most of the time I feel that I have nothing to add to the usually voluminous reviews on most CD's. So in this case, I felt very surprised that nobody has written a review on this CD which has been released for over a month, especially since this is such good music. May be it's because Ash is from Nothern Ireland and therefore unfamiliar in the States. I wouldn't rate this CD 5 stars, but I could honestly say the stuff here is better than 80% of the new music out there. Ash's latest release has songs that with good melodies, intelligent and reflective lyrics, and good execution. The best track is the title track, "Twilight of the Innocents". In fact, IMO just the title track is worth the price of the CD. It has the kind of emotional outburst that brings to mind the Who's "Love Reign O'er Me". This is a good band with some great stuff. It'd be a shame if more people didn't check them out. Enjoy!"
