Some people loved it some didn't feel it, but the consensus seems to be that this was a solid, if unspectacular effort. I personally liked the CD and still play it a lot. I let the music critic at the paper I work for hear it because I wanted to hip him to them before the next CD comes out. He said he liked most of the album and even recorded tracks 2 through 5 for a friend. His main criticsm is that the tracks sounded too alike. The upshot is that their lyrcial and subject matter content is strong, and the basic melodies and beats were solid. All I'm saying is that there's some good stuff there and with the right production they could be a force. But when I heard the CD, I thought they made a conscious effort to make a serious albulm and that the bare bones way they came at you musically was an attempt to make people listen to the words.
