"and give both discs a few good spins. Like any other Centro-matic or SSG album these are growers. Which ultimately leads to strong songs that stand the test of time. If you tell me your favorite album has three number one hits on it and that you're not sick of them DON'T buy this CD. You'll have purchased an album with music that slowly grows on you and becomes meaningful, not repetitive pop trash that melts your ears. If you are a fan, you already know what I mean. If not, I recommend starting with SSG's "The Carlton Chronicles", Centro-matic's "Fort Recovery", and Will Jonson's "Vultures Await". If you try them, I mean really give them a chance to settle in on you, and you don't like them...well, I'm sorry you broke your ears listening to Nickleback.

"I have been digging into this album for many months. I became so absorbed in it's greatness that I came across and bought the double disc vinyl after getting the CD.

These guys are so above most indie bands anywhere in line with their sound. They sound fearless, bold and beautiful. Will Johnson is a great songwriter with a grasp on all things metaphor and wrapped in great arrangements and powerfully graceful melodies. I don't consider this pop. I just consider it roots- alternative indie rock and very great.

It is so consistent with what they have done previously. But, there is even more depth to the music as a whole piece of work. They are tapping into veins of sonic color (strings, vocals and dynamics). What does anyone need to hear other than a solid top to bottom record. In an era of meaningless american idols. Folks, just listen to the 2 discs over and over again and get inside them while they get in your subconcious.

A fantastic record by a fantastic band."
