"Well how amusing to put this in a review, but I first heard Radford on those cheap headphones on an American Airlines flight from Chicago to Los Angeles. The two Radford songs on the "alternative rock" airline channel were "Don't Stop" and "Fly" (although they mistyped and wrote "Stop" and "Don't Fly", how 180 degrees and ironic). I was hooked and upon landing immediately went to the music store to purchase the Radford disc. Now it has not left the cd player of my car. Radford is an extremely versatile group of talented musicians. I say this without much knowledge of them as individuals, I wish I would have heard of them earlier and would have had an opportunity to check them out live, but if they perform anywhere close to the sound they have produced on this album, I would not be disappointed. Their songs range from a hard alternative style to haunting ballads, with an equally wide range of lyrical material. As it seems that there are more and more grunge and alternative bands coming out of the woodwork these days, I find it harder and harder to find a band that I both like period, and ESPECIALLY one that I like an entire disc of. I am tired of buying cd's that have only two or three good songs on them...Radford has proven to be a cherished buy for me. I listen to it no matter what mood I am in, and no matter who is in the car with me. I highly recommend this disc."
A must have for everyone

"Radford is quite possibly the "next big thing" in alternative music. This cd is absolutely amazing! Its lyrics are all written by band itself, and you can tell that they come straight from the heart. But not only are the words amazing, but the music itself is too with paino, guitar and violin harmonies. Each song is unique and span from pop to alternative to slow and melodic. I had the chance to actually stand and talk to the band memebers at their concert (with stroke 9 and vertical horizon), and they were so incredibly nice and down to earth, you could tell that they love what they are doing. If you are looking for something new, definately give this band a try, believe me you will not regret it. This cd had not left my cd player since i went out and bought it the day it was released!"
This whole CD is GREAT! Look for greater things!

"Radford's new cd is one of the best cd's that i've ever purchased! It blends great slow acoustic songs like FLY, Where do you go, and How does it feel...with great pop/rock songs like Don't Stop, Come on, over you, and several others. The whole cd is awesome! Buy this cd! I can gurantee you that you will not be disappointed! Radford should get really big with this release, if not...it is because our culture is so obsessed with boy bands and pretty little girls with no talent. Radford will have you singing their songs in the shower, in the car, and wherever you may be!"
