5 out of 5 stars If you think they're just a copy of Grandaddy, you're wrong.......2002-10-19

I got this album thanks for a friend, who told me about this band. So, I bought it and when I first listened this album I was left wondering if that friend of mine was wrong about this band, if Fiver was just another band copying the Grandaddy sound. But then I listened to it the second time, and then the third, the fourth... and let me tell you, I fell in love with this band. While their sound resembles Grandaddy's they're no copycats. They' re a precious example for something known as 'misreading', in the Bloomian sense of that word. 'Misreading' means that you cannot make a reading without making a different interpretation of what was 'supposed' to be read. It is when you misread a text that then you start to write. And that is -in my humble opinion- what Fiver does. They take the Grandaddy's sound and do their own thing with it, and that means -if you take music as a text- that as a listener you're supposed to discover re-interpretations of that Other text within the text. So, if you're interested, why not check this out? I'm pretty sure that you will love it. Enjoy.

5 out of 5 stars Yummy sonic layers.......2000-10-27

This is Fiver's second CD. It takes the strengths from their first CD, Eventually Something Cool Will Happen--creative instrumentation and indie-pop hooks--and adds lush layers of rock that many have compared to Radiohead, Pavement, and Grandaddy. (Grandaddy's Jason Lytle produced Fiver's first CD.)

Fiver recommends listening to their music with headphones and I agree completely. The depth of sound and the experience is not the same over the loud speakers. The last track, "theme from lo-down" is the best example of this. The seven-minute track floats and glides in a blissfull, spacy trance. Guitarist Chris Doud's skill is showcased as the track progresses from quiet to rocking and then back to quiet. Light a candle, put on your best headphones, and drift off with this track.

The whole CD holds up to frequent listens...you'll become intimate with the nuances of the music, discover new quirks, and learn to love these Modesto boys.

It's about time a band claiming to be alternative actually is. This album is better than their first, worthy of a daily listen. Spacey alt-pop at it's finest.
