"Is this for real? The price listed for the CD in new condition starts at $92 bucks?!!!! Seriously?! A 12 track CD for $92 bucks?! Am I missing somthing?! Just because the CD has been discontinued by the manufactures?! That's no reason to charge such outrageous prices for a music CD.
I'd really like to get this CD new, but I cannot find it in any stores. And I cannot see paying almost $100 dollars for a CD with a mere 12 tracks, no matter how much I love Days of the New. Damnitman!"
Fantastic Album from start to finish

"Red won't reach Yellow when talking about the energy and lyrics but Red is harder and more aggressive and takes Meeks into a whole different level.It's unfortunate this album didn't sell as much as Yellow and Green and it got discontinued and Meeks drove himself into addiction and could not tour in support of the album.Still tracks like Dirty road,Hang on to this,Once again,Never drown showcase an excellence in Meeks's lyrics and the guitars here sound great,hopefully Tree colors when and if it comes out puts some flavor from this album into it."
A late discovery for me but...

"I just "found" Days of the New, recently. My first exposure was the "Green" disc, it is far and away my favorite. The perfect mix of rock with what I'd call neo-classical and a touch of country thrown in. This one, the "Red" disc is still excellent but has what to me are 'weak' moments, "Words", "Fighting W/ Clay" and "Days In Our Life" to be specific.
I have nothing good to say about the "Yellow" disc...The changes/growth and new style Travis Meeks gave the world in his later two releases are leaps and bounds ahead of the initial outing. I've read a rumor or two about a possible "Purple" disc or maybe IV, it will be a day one purchase for me."
Real

"I own both Days of the New CD's and recently got the 3rd with much hesitation due to the negative reviews I read. This album is anything but negative--it's pure genius! Travis Meeks is the most original rock musician out there, it's such a shame that he's so underrated.
Some people complain about the instrumental tracks..have you forgotten that that's what the basis of music really is? Sometimes its refreshing to just listen to instrumental tracks and interpret it yourself.
I am in love with this album, and constantly captivated by the talent of Travis Meeks."
