5 out of 5 stars Underrated, addictive album.......2007-02-18

The only reason I found out about this band was from a one-page article written about them in a Seattle weekly paper, but it was a favorable enough article to peak my interest. I listen to a lot of music every year, but this one was probably in rotation on my cd player for a few months. There is definitely a proggy feel to a lot of the music here, which is refreshing in this day and age, and although the singers muddled vocals might annoy some, I found that his voice fit the music quite nicely. Some tracks, like the first three, are instantly catchy and enjoyable, while other tracks, such as the electronic "To see two suns" seem rather pedestrian at first but eventually reveal themselves to be more complex and multi-layered after repeated listens. I'd have to say that this was one of my favorite albums of 2003, and I'm really glad I took a chance on it.

4 out of 5 stars very good.......2003-12-26

i saw this band live w/ pretty girls make graves (who are also amazing, i might add) and not only do they put on an awesome show, but they were actually good. there are so many post-punk/neo-new wave bands around now that they're barely distinguishable, but this band stands out. i'd recommend this for fans of the faint, the rapture, and radio berlin.

2 out of 5 stars Should rate more from what I've read.......2003-08-29

I read a rave review of Cobra High in a local rag and picked up this CD based on that recommendation. Unfortunately, as the previous reviewer commented, the recording of this band, however talented they may be, is very poor. I gave this CD 2 stars mostly because they are trying to succeed in a genre (prog rock) that doesn't get much attention these days.
From the review they appear to be a good band to catch live. That sounds about right for a prog-rock ensemble.
All that said, I hope these guys stay together and record another CD with better production values .
