"This album blows my mind. Glass Floor had its good moments, but did not seem like what these guys were capable of putting out. This album makes up for the few flaws on Glass Floor. This album sounds nothing like the last one, much more upbeat and rockin. The bass lines will make anyone drool with pleasure, and his guitar and vocals are on top.



Highlights: People, The Vehicles, Calm, Young Alumni, Protein And Poison, and Call Me Home



Sadly this has not been released in the United States, so you have to get the import. IT's worth the extra money for the bonus tracks, which should be on the international album but are not for some stupid reason unclear to me."

"this album soothes and rocks you at the same time. i heard tidbits of them online, and went to see them live recently, confident that former promise ring members could put on quite the show. and i'll be honest, it was the best show i've been to in a long time. i was impressed. their sound is full, but also detailed and calm. so i bought this album, and was blown away again despite my reservations. it's less energetic than their live performance, but it works very well. it's almost croon-ish. "tearing up the oxygen" is my favorite track on the album. there are a few others that stand out to me as being elite. other than that, just the instrumentation alone makes the album a joy to listen to. i give it five stars because i can't go a day without putting it in (at least for a couple songs) since i purchased it. also SEE THEM LIVE any chance you get!!"

I can't help but groove and love this album

"With "We, the Vehicles", ex-members of The Promise Ring and Dismemberment Plan have definitely put out one solid album that I love. The guitar work and bass lines are delicious!



Don't expect The Promise Ring or Dismemberment Plan styles to show up, but you will hear their strong roots which equals no weaknesses. All I hear on every song are great melodies, sometimes mellow grooves, or just catchy rockers. I can't argue with this formula they came across because for me, this was the type of album I needed to hear and own. "Tearing Up The Oxygen" has to be the most powerful song on the album, but it's the most mellow, and that says a lot about "We, the Vehicles". I could go on and on about other songs like "People, the Vehicles", "Don't Say You Don't" or "Young Alumni", but an explanation doesn't do anything justice unless you listen to the album yourself.



I know this for a fact, this album will definitely make you happy."
