"ill tell you one thing right now, if your not into feeling very sad while listening to music, then maybe these guys aren't for you. but the sadness of this albulm, is what sometimes makes music what it should do to you. music, at least i believe, should have a large emotional impact on you, that can leave you stunned it's that good. i mean yes music thats just listenable bcause it's happy is great, but i find the lasting value on those types of music are nothing in comparison to the emo/indie scene, or whatever you want to call it (underground scene). some of my personal favorites include," I was born in Omaha,ambulance, and salvation army", but they are all amazing. im also a huge fan of mineral, and old gloria record, and i dont know what all you other reviewers are talking about gloria record's change sounding too different, because the roots are still there whether the layering and keyboarding hides it or not."

"The voice kills the album. I have tried to "get used to it" but no deal. Its just an average sound, and a below average voice. If you can get it for a dollar, then its worth the name on your ipod. Anything more than a buck, you're better off buying a burger instead."

"I used to really love this album, and it might just change your life, however, its not for evertone. Most people I have played it for hated guys voice. Sometimes I do too, but it feels sincere so I get over it. I really dont think that this is sad music. It is just right. I like the way they rock on a build up. I was born in Omaha is a perfect example of that. Solid lyrics too. I would probably compare them too Idaho and maybe a pinch of the Appleseed Cast. Definitely worth your time if you dont mind shaky vocals at times."
