The Holy Grail of music

"Being that this particular title is out of print, take advantage of any chance you have of securing a copy. Like another reviewer said, this album will change your life, it changed mine! No matter what particular trend or style of music you are into, this album will resonate with you; its just that damn good. On par with the freakin' Beatles. Its a shame and a blessing that Samiam never made it big."

An all time favorite

"this record is probably the best thing Samiam ever produced. This band never got their due and i don't know why. i had no clue this record was out of print. geez. well, this is what emo was before we had that stupid three letter name. this is what made me really appreciate deeper lyrics and songs than what the metal bands were offering. its hard to describe this band... they have some alternative tendencies, punk tendencies and some of the biggest, most passionate choruses ever. jason beebout has a distinct voice and sings his ass of on this record. this was meant to be their breakthrough album. everyone in the band hope for the best but it just didn't fly. their hardcore fans knew how great it was but radio didn't. KROQ's Jed the Fish played some of their stuff for his "catch of the day" and that was about all the push they got. its sad. after much frustration, this band called it a day after one more record. there is always hope for more but its unlikely. buy this record and find out what a passionate band sounds like again."
