Best CD I've heard...........2005-04-16

This is seriously the best CD I've heard. I play this CD every single day in my car. I even blast Name Taken on my work's stereo. I don't think I'll ever get tired of them...

As far as some songs being fillers... Whatever to that. They all are good.

This is one band I tell all my friends about. I tell strangers to buy their album, haha!

Here Come the Indy's.......2005-04-13

Well, I am changing my review because the sad news is that Name Taken has retired to go do other things. That's too bad, but after reading their announcement, I can understand that they were tired of living out of a van and wanting to go be successful in more traditional ways. Best of luck to them. In the meantime, they left us a really good CD.

Short And Sweeeeeet..........2005-02-12

I hate when great CD's don't last long in terms of running time. This is one of those CD's. A great sound that clocks in at just 34 minutes. But I enjoy the short time I have with Name Taken when I listen to the album.

I can't say there is anything ground breaking about this album. It's your standard band set up and standard rock and roll. But they find a melody for ever song that I really enjoy.

The sound quality of the album is perfect. I am a drummer myself, so I pay attention to that the most, and it sounds crisp, and live.

I love the singer too. I'm not an expert when it comes to singing, I'm far from a vocal coach - but the singer gives me the sense that he's very passionate about what he's singing. It doesn't sound as if he's yelling to be loud, or to give some hard rock vocal sound. It really does feel like he's caught up in the emotion of the song, and the volume that comes from him voice reflects that.

Each song has that kind of rhythm, not just in terms of tempo, but in terms of the overall feel of the song itself, that you can picture an entire floor of an audience jumping in time, and the lyrics give you the image of that audience singing along with the words too.

The reason for the 4/5 star review is I wish there was more on this CD. They certainly seem like they have the potential to release more material. And if it's true that he's that passionate about the songs, it would seem only natural to me that he has a plethora of ideas and stories he wants to get out there. I guess I'll just have to wait for the next album.

AMAZING.......2004-12-12

This cd is simply amazing. I fist heard Name Taken when i was listening to launch. I was simply blown away! I dont understand why none of my friends have heard of them! I also dont understand why they arent on a bigger lable. they r so awesome. If u dont already own this cd u must get it. there's no better cd out there! Name Taken has truly become one of my favorite bands
