Customer Reviews
Buy this right now! You won't be sorry.
This album is one of the most welcome surprises I've had in a very long time. It's truly a breath of fresh air, and my 2nd favorite album of 2005 so far (right behind the new Sufjan Stevens album).
At any rate... this CD takes you on a grand journey, that goes all over the place, yet somehow always manages to stay comfortably familiar. Standout tracks include "Living On The Outside Of Your Skin", "Transistor Radio", "Rockwell", and the hidden bonus track at the end, "Bobby's Spacesuit"
Heartfelt lyrics/vocals and playful creativity abound... you'll find yourself getting sucked into this record further and further with every listen. I honestly can't reccomend this album enough. It's probably Cloud Cult's best to date (although "They Live On The Sun" is also a masterpiece).
My only complaint with this record is the three tracks full of blank noise towards the end of the album... but that problem can easily be alleviated if you put this on your iPod... just delete tracks 20, 22, and 24.
the BEST cd i've heard for weeks or months or years
good stuff... think postal service meeting bright eyes and then getting their butts kicked by modest mouse and neil young as wayne coyne looks on.
except wackier and cornier. usually when a band sounds like someone else at all, i don't care for them. and i'm not really sure how much they sound like the aforementioned bands but it instanly sounds familiar and at home to me (in a really good way). i like this cd a alot if you couldn't tell already. buy it and prepare to be happy.
Indiecredible!
Diverse, clever, smart, charming and complex are just a few words that can barely describe this amazing album. Their music exhibits everything I love about indie rock. Listen to the samples and you'll get an idea of what I'm talking about. This is undoubtedly one of my favorite albums of the year!!!!!!!!
