Aside from personally being in love with the album art (I love faded watercolors in the hues they used) I have lots of love for this band. I've also got a little bitty bit of beef with the band because I've been a long time fan of Umphrey's McGee and think it's pretty obvious that Grand Theft Bus just happened to coincidentally develop a sound incredibly similar to theirs or blatantly ripped it off. I don't know which but they perform the mimicry very well and maintain some sounds of their own in the midst. Don't mistake my comments for a hack and slash on the band - it's quality stuff. Personal favorite is shared up above but take a peak around at their other stuff because their variety is varietous.
