"Now, I won't go as far as saying Photographs & Tidalwaves is a terrible album. But plain and simple, it's boring. I would hardly compare Holland to The Elms (as far as musical talent goes). Also, I really see very LITTLE emotion in the singer's voice. No real range. No depth. Not BAD mind you- just not GOOD. Also lyrics are less than powerful,and guitar, drums and keys are forgettable at best. Don't waste your money. Buy The Elms "The Big Surprise" and just skip the first track, or get "Interventions & Lullabies" by The Format and enjoy every moment of it."
Unoriginal garbage.

"I saw Holland open a while back and decided to check them out. Their music is frankly too boring to make it, and I strongly advise that you heed my more sober review of this album."
Surprisingly Good CD

"I first heard about Holland from a video for Shine Like Stars on tv. I thought the song seemed catchy so I decided to get this cd. I personally think its very good stuff for pop/rock despite about 2 or 3 songs that I normally skip, all the rest are very good. I mean it isn't anything groundbreaking but instead is relaxing and enjoyable for when you're in a more quiet mood. Overall I would recommend this to pretty much everyone. Go out and support this band!"
