"Few bands can really get me excited anymore when I catch wind of a new release, but Park is the exception. If you are a fan of this incredible group of talent, you owe it to yourself (and your grandchildren that may look through your CD's when you are older one day) to pick this record up. An incredible blend of Park's classic music sinks in right off the bat. Ladd's always deep lyrics hit new depths and will amaze anyone who cares to listen close enough. I still hold true that the three best song writers today belong to Park, Saosin, and Circa Survive. Park stay true to their roots and keep their sound fresh but grounded. Too many bands here lately (and I am looking at you Thrice and Matchbook Romance) have strayed too far off the beaten path to try experimentation. With this record, you can tell it's a new chapter but it feels like a visit from an old friend. Park pull off an incredible collection of songs this time around and it hasn't left the CD player in my car for weeks now. Every song holds it own individuality and is solid. I honestly can say I don't have a single complaint about the entire record. Even the down-key last track remains a beautiful, haunting finale to a damn near perfect album. Park strikes again! Consistently on the uprise, these guys take nothing but steps forward. Now quit reading and support this incredible group!"

Hooray!!

"Park Does It Again. A Slower More Direct Approach. But Amazing For Sure. Get This If You Already Know And Are Into Park. Pick Up "It Wont Snow Where You're Going " If Your New To This Band. "
