Brilliant And Beautiful!

"The Panic Division has, once again, delivered another brilliant and darn catchy album. Colton Holliday's vocals are extraordinary for this particular style of electronic influenced rock music. SONGS FROM THE GLASSHOUSE features a much more prominent 80's new wave sound (they even offer a fantastic cover of the Mr. Mister hit "Broken Wings") but with a powerful mix of modern rock fused with it. This album does feature a bit more of the electronics and keyboards than their debut album, VERSUS. But the rock is still definitely there (Silverchair should take note of these guys to see how keyboards and music can be mixed together properly). The only track on this album that I thought was rather unneeded was the reprise of "Stay." Everything else however is golden and people really do not give this band enough credit. It's a shame to because they make some of the most melodic, catchy, ambient/atmospheric and downright enjoyable rock music out there. If you want to hear a great band with soothing melodic vocals and memorable rock music, definitely give The Panic Division a try."
