Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Run-The Itis.......2006-04-28

The first time I heard a song by run, it was "Wasting Away". The second I heard it, I was mesmerized. I stopped what I was doing and just sat listening to that amazing song. This band is utterly amazing.

5 out of 5 stars Best Rock Album in Years.......2005-09-27

It is only a matter of time before RUN's debut album THE ITIS is all over the airwaves. This is by far, the best rock album released in over ten years.

I'm sure the big magazines will do their job and be the first to point out that despite their talent, RUN is not an "original" sounding band. While their hook-filled, melodic brand of guitar-driven hard rock is nothing new to us, it is the BEST music we've heard in a long time. I guarantee you will be singing along and playing some serious "air guitar" to their songs of desperation and angst after only a few listens.

After one spin of the disc, RUN's 90's alt-rock influences are obvious, but this is nice given today's radio is filled with dull and whiney British "garage" rock. RUN sticks to the basics of what GOOD music is all about.

While I rarely hand out 10's, here is my track-by-track review of the album:

1. Wake Me Up: Great energy for the opening track 8/10
2. Wasting Away: The radio single - best song ever written 10/10
3. Sound of Summer: Heavy & original song 8/10
4. Say Goodbye: Very emotional song - possibly the best song on the album 10/10
5. While You're Gone: Great song 7/10
6. Drowning Slowly: Very catchy chorus - potential radio single 10/10
7. Not Your Life: Lots of anger - catchy guitar 8/10
8. Down: Another sing-along 9/10
9. Don't Hate Me: Catchy chorus 7/10
