Product Description

Cloud Party's 4th (and latest) album is also its most organic, awash in acoustic and electric guitars. From the straight ahead rock of "Tears" to the folkish qualities of the title track; from the thunderous Pink Floyd-esque "Thirteen Days" to the driving anger of "Entertain Me" and the hypnotic and evocative anthem "To the Ends Of Earth," this is Cloud Party at its most mature and its most eclectic. If you liked the other 3, this one takes one more step... Includes two live tracks and a quicktime video of the band live.

5 out of 5 stars Raising the bar.......2005-08-08

Following the great album Real, Cloud Party manages to raise the bar just a bit higher with Praying for Rain. Songs like the sad Come Around Again, the Roger Waters-esque Entertain Me, the heart breaking Waiting To Be Beautiful, and the haunting Thirteen Days are the real gems in a very shiny assortment of stones. There's simply not a single bad track on the album.

You'll be sorry if you miss it.

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding!!!!.......2005-06-21

Cloud Party has completely outdone themselves with their latest cd Praying For Rain. Jim Speese's heartfelt lyrics deeply touched my soul. This cd is a far departure from their previous albums. I find it very hard to describe just how magnificent and awe inspiring it is.

The first time I listened to it, when I got to track 6 'Waiting to Be Beautiful,' I had to pull over my car and just listen to the lyrics as they pulled at my heartstrings. The song made me cry. I cannot think of any other song that has touched me so deeply. The part of the song that stands out to be the most is:

" She's waiting to be beautiful.
She's waiting to be bold.
She's waiting to lie naked
Next to someone else's soul."

The other song that really stands out on this cd is 'To the Ends Of Earth'. Again another poignant song in which one cannot help relate to.
