"You know how they say "It's not necessarily what you say, but how you say it"?...This album is true testament to that old adage. Every song is a powerful combination of passionate expression and torrential sound. So often, music isn't felt, instead it's simply heard. Well, not this time, not with this group and not with this voice. When you listen to any song on this album, it's impossible not to feel... It plays at work, in my car, at home...It's one of those CD's I can listen to over and over again....There's a uniqueness to it that has totally captured my attention. "In the Absence of Subtlety" is an amazing new album, leaving me with only one question...."Where will EDG go next?""

Finally, a band that has consistantly great songs

"It's rare that I find anything that is consistantly as solid as this album. Every song picks up where the last one left off. The vocals soar and the musicianship is outstanding. I have been playing this album for over a year and it is the best investment I've made in an album in years. Comparison to Coldplay, Pearl Jam and Radiohead are a natural. If you buy one CD this year, it should be by Eight Day Gone. MP3.com shows off 2 new songs that I guess will be on the next album. I CAN'T WAIT!"

Definitely Great

"A great album. Great Songs and lyrics. It is amazing how little is known of this band which is so good. Can't wait for their next album. Listen to She's life and I'll be waiting."
