Emotionally Stirring

"This Cd is amazing. It is more relaxed than Vertical Horion's newer Cds. When I listen to it, the singers drive home their purpose, and each word cuts right to you. ESPECIALLY in Wash Away. I love that song, and I am in love with Keith Kane's voice. This CD was at first just another addition to my Vertical Horizon collection (which is growing by the day) but now I am sure I will never be so obsessed with a band."
A gift...

"I have been a huge fan of Vertical Horizon for close to 6 years now, and I don't understand why anyone could be disappointed with this album. I hate it when people say "I was hoping it would be more like Everything you Want and Go". This album is their sophmore album and it came out long before "Everything You Want" and "Go". If I'm not mistaken this album along with their debut, and third album, where all re-released a few years after they origionally came out. I have owned this album for six years now and I think it's wonderful. This album portrays Vertical Horizon before they hit mainstream with their albums: "Everything You Want" and "GO" I personally prefer their first 3 albums over "Everything You Want" and "GO" This album is all acoustic work. All the tracks on this album are great. I highly recommend:
Track 1: Heart in Hand
Track 2: Wash Away
Track 3: Fragments
Track 5: The Man Who Would be Santa
Track 6: Angel Without Wings
Track 11: Sunrays and Saturdays
Track 13: Falling Down
Track 14: Goodnight My Friend. This song is my favorite on this CD. A few moments after this track is a secret track. It features a blended mix of songs on this album. It's amazing.
I also recommend that if you enjoy this CD and their first, "There and Back Again", you listen to their third album "Live Stages" if you haven't already. It's a live performance of songs from their two previous albums and its great. Running on Ice is truly a remarkable gift to Vertical Horizon fans."
