Someone sent me some of their songs and I really like them. Anyone else?

    I've heard a few songs, and don't mind them although they are a bit middle of the road. Sounds like the singer really did go through hell with all his drug addictions. I read a live review that said they were awful, apparently the singer has a messiah complex to rival Davey Draiman and Scott Stapp!!

    OH my! Well, I hadn't planned on seeing them live. I like the songs I've heard so far. Thanks for the input.

    They used to play a LOT in San Marcos, Tx, while was I attending college there. We also played their music back then, which it was good at the time.

    i heard the new song and all, and I don't like it. I hate to say this about a Texas band (since it is my home state) but the song was HORRIBLE!

    Blue October is from Houston where I grew up. I saw them like 3 times, and I was not really that impressed. That was before they became a national act. I saw them on like the side stage at a Buzzfest or 2. I liked one or two songs off their History for sale album but don't know if I'll see them live again. Their songs about some pretty weird and complex shit too.

    All I know is their single/video that's out right now is a crime against music. They might be good...but I saw/heard nothing indicating that.

    I sprained both wrists punching my steering wheel in anger when i heard that awful song on the radio. to each his own i guess.

    i like the song on "foiled" that they did with imogen heap...there are a few other decent songs on the record...i think that there are people who can identify with the words in "hate me" and that once you get into that part of listening to a song, you can really appreciate where the song is coming from...when i first heard the song, i did like it, musically, but as the subject matter became more apparent to me, i grew to like the song a lot more.

    Hate Me isn't one I'm talking about. I've heard that one on the radio and it's pretty plain. There are three or four that I like that a friend sent me. I should try to hear some older stuff. Maybe I'll like it better.

    the tracks innerglow and calling you were the ones I liked that were played on the radio. I think razorblade was also played from the history for sale album.

    HEY!!! Yeah I think they were. 18th Floor Balcony, Into The Ocean, Everlasting Friend. I think there are a couple more but can't remember them.

    I bought their live cd "argue with a tree" it's pretty awesome...I really like them. Someone described them as middle of the road but imo that could be furtherest from the truth. I think they are kind of hard to pin down which explains why they really havent had commercial success.
    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    Well said. I can't really explain what they sound like either but I like it.

    me too... I think they could be easily dismissed if someone just goes by "hate me"
