Bad Artwork, Bad Sound Quality, GREAT Album!

""Too Close To See Far" is a great album. Don't be fooled by the terrible cover art (the worst I've ever seen in my life; what were they thinking?) or the less-than-incredible sound quality of the recording, this is a really, REALLY good effort. I haven't heard the band's other albums, so I can't compare it to anything they've done in the past. It's a good purchase if you're into melodic "jangly" rock 'n roll."
Good News, Bad News

"I didn't know the lead singer had left when I first heard this album and was initially disappointed. The great vocal melodies of Enjoy the Melodic Sunshine made that an outstanding and unique album and this just ain't the same. The lyrics are a lot less hippy dippy, the guitars are more electric instead of the old acoustic emphasis and the overall sound is a lot like Teenage Fanclub. In fact, I'd recommend this album very highly to anyone into Fanclub because its probably better than anything they've done since Grand Prix. You can get this album very cheaply, there's no reason not to give it a listen."
