I read a review of this album and there was a fantastic quote in it: "Great music, is the music of what happens." (That's from acclaimed Irish poet Seamus Heaney). So this album is really good, and if you look at a picture of the band on myspace he looks kinda scary (if you're reading this don't misinterpret that as ugly) but guess what? The music is never about what you look like it's about what you can do with your musical creativity. I guess in the grand scheme of pop culture looks might matter but not when it really matters. I like this album a lot, so if you feel that way about the songs you ear here you'll be thoroughly contented with the rest. This album's release notes were also incorrect when first typing this; yet another lesson to double check my facts.

Sweet youtube videos (that one is Closing In) that weren't quite what I expected. Check the sidebar of that link for additional songs and vids.
