Released ten years ago this week. I know we have some fans here. To my ears, I don’t think there has been a better album released since. Red Eyes is a top ten all time song for me.

Under the Pressure

Red Eyes

An Ocean Between the Waves

Eyes to the Wind

I like WOD a lot but wouldn't put them on any top ten list.

You may not put them on a list, but that album is absolutely in the top ten of that year, if not the decade.

I was lucky enough to catch them live right before they blew up. I was standing front row at a music venue in Charlotte while they played this album. I think the cover was $20.

Lost in a Dream is a good album.

But their music just kind of drones on and on with little dynamic. In the right setting, it's good, but it just doesn't move the needle much for me.

Damn time flies. I still remember us raving on here about this record like it was yesterday. Their other stuff is good, but this album is perfection.

Five star album. Still heavy in me spaced out evening rotations.

Layered guitars are the shite

It doesn't get much better than an album opener like Under The Pressure.

Listening to this album again tonight and wondering, does any album, ever, have three songs as good as Under the Pressure, Red Eyes and An Ocean Between the Waves? Plenty of other great tracks on the album too, but my goodness, what a trio.

For a long stretch it was bed time music in my house in lieu of having a tv show or such on for background noise.

Was a great soundtrack.

I nearly passed out when I saw them live.
