Do you remember the song "All that You Are?" from the early 2000's? This song was instantly catchy and caused college students all over America to rock out to it, while ignoring the band responsible for it. It's a decent CD overall. Discover a new (old) band today! Alt. Rock.

Just goes to show you that Canada has the better music

"Econoline Crush instantly moved themselves into one of my top five favorite bands when I heard them Play at Edgefest in Edmonton back in the summer of 97. I went out and bought the CD and have been impressed with the music right from day one. Trevor Hurst's lyric writing is incredibly inspired, and I love Surefire, a song about how women can never be satisfied. All time favorite EC song though is definately "Sparkle and Shine." And just remember, Canada had them first, we are their best fans. I'm sort of disappointed that it's taken so long for them to go back to work on a new album, but I guess I'm happy that they've made it big in the States, something that is very hard to do with the Pop Culture music that goes on. Just remember all you teenie boppers - this is music. A combination of technology and incredible talent. All that Backstreet Boy stuff is just plain and simple talentless. End of Story."
Pretty Good, Pretty Good

""The Devil You Know" is a fine effort by Econoline Crush. Many people want to believe that this band is the Canadian version of Nine Inch Nails, but that could not be further from the truth. Crush really puts forth organic, guitar-based songs complemented with programming, keyboards, and the like. They are all about rocking and are less "industrial" than even Stabbing Westward. Best of all, their CD is full of emotional angst from the heart that is good for when you are feeling down."
The BEST industrial release ever

"This cd, for me, defines industrial.
Industrial is NOT another term for nu-metal, and it does NOT have to sound like NIN. Econoline Crush is a very good example of being industrial without sounding overly angry or Reznor like.
The band Econoline Crush are sadly no more now, but this record lives as testament that listenable and publically acceptable industrial rock, although rare, does indeed exist. It escapes me as to why this band wasn't more popular out of its native Canada.
PS: To get the full benefit of this cd, you will have to have a really good stereo, and listen to it a few times over. The songs are very deeply layered, and it will surprise you just how much new stuff you will hear each time you listen to the same track."
Solid

"This album is great for a change of scenery for me. Even though i'm not too fond of alternative music, this one is upbeat with some good tunes. I was fortunate enough to receive free tickets to their show at the Belly Up in S.D. with a meet-and-greet after the show. These guys were very humble and approachable. They certainly have their vision and priorities set. I suggest you give it a spin and see what you think."
