Customer Reviews

Wow, the first review of a wonderful band
I recently went to see these guys live with a bunch of other bands in detroit for a "jade tree record label" tour thing. I have to say that they are an amazing live band and that anyone should try and go see them. That being said, this album is really really good. It has a good blend of melody with edge and it does it flawlessly. The guitars are somewhat raw sounding which gives it a good edge. I'm very surprised no one has reviewed this record yet, so i figured this band deserves recognition.

Good album...3.5 stars.
I dont really get into bands like this, but since the amount of reviews are dismal, here we go.

Challenger is a side project by members of Milemarker, and if you enjoy them, this album will not disappoint. It has a more rough feel to it than most efforts by Milemarker, but hopefully that wont turn you off.

The first half of the album (tracks 1-6) is really great, and filled with catchy riffs and melodies you can sing along to. The latter part, however, drags on a bit, and seems to take FOREVER for the album to finish. Tracks 8 and ten are really the only ones during the second half that prevented me from giving this album 3 stars.

All and all, not a bad play, and the majority of the songs have a great happy/sad feel that are infections and make it so you can't help but sing to. Standout tracks include Input The Output, Death Museum, and Unemployment.

everyone missed out
this album is amazing. i just bought it about a month ago, so i'm late in the game. challenger, like milemarker, isn't a typical rock and roll band. they aren't emo or punk or anything. the music, as said by the previous reviewer, has a lot of melody and intensity all at once. nothing is typical. they take a lot of chances with the production. this is definitely in my top ten if not my top five. riyl: milemarker, slowride, bear vs. shark
