Search - Thirteen Senses :: The Invitation

Extremely Pleasant

Robert J. Howal | Nowhere USA | 11/21/2007

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Thirteen Senses use piano, acoustic and electric guitars, and orchestrated strings to wonderful effect. For the sophistication of the compositions this album manages to be pleasantly mellow without ever becoming sonorous or redundant. In fact the richness of the melodies from tune to tune draw you in and keep pulling you happily along. Will South has a very good voice and the lyrics are literate to poetic. Excellent album."

Better than Hopes and Fears

William J. Clark | Austin, TX | 12/18/2007

(3 out of 5 stars)

"Indeed, more consistent than Hopes and Fears. Still, Into the Fire pretty much outshines the other tracks on the album. In general, this album is very pretty; easy to listen to; less whiny than Coldplay, but similar in texture, perhaps a little less gritty, although Coldplay is hardly gritty itself; composed of more or less standard chord progressions and (mostly) undeceptive melodies backing a very emotive lead. If you like this type of stuff, you'll be pleased, and will definitely sing along to the standouts."

Beautiful Album

"A lovely album! I am so pleased with this purchase. The sound reminds me a little of Keane's first album. The music is soft and easy and melds with the gentle vocals instead of over powering them. My favorite track is "Gone", but the entire CD can be played without skipping over tracks. This is a fine CD for driving or typing up a report, soothing and calming it doesn't invade the whole room or your senses."
