    Great album, especially wake up and rebellion (lies) but I have kind of had enough of it now...... hopefully the new album will turn me back on.

    I really like this album. I have to be in the mood for it, but I think it's pretty solid beginning to end.

    I could listen to Rebellion (lies) forever, they create such an awesome vibe in their music, I have a lot of time for bands that can create 'that' cool vibe, can't put my finger on what it is exactly......

    Clearly one of the best albums released in the last six years. I still listen to it often and continue to be blown away by it. Wake Up is definitely my favorite song. Also, after seeing the band live twice, I have actually put them on equal footing with Pearl Jam in terms of best live acts. They are truly unbelievable.
    It makes much more sense to live in the present tense.

    Tunnels, Rebellion, Wake Up, Crown Of Love, Laika... good stuff.

    This album was a total surprise to me when I picked it up a little over a year ago. I still listen to it quite often. Wake up is definitely my favorite track, but for me there is not a bad tune on the whole thing. It flows great from song to song. Many of the songs have a real epic quality to them, as if they are being performed by a huge group of musicians. I don't know if that makes any sense to anyone, but that's how it sounds to me.

    Kind of strange because while the music sounds very upbeat in most cases, the lyrics are largely dark. Kind of like Wilco's Summerteeth in a way.

    Very much looking forward to the new record that's due out very soon now.
