I just got this album on itunes, and I am really happy with the purchase. The vocals are smooth, and the intricate layers of music created without the production of a studio are astonishing. These guys are amazing and deserve any credit they get. Although I think they are a far cry from Radiohead, I do see the usefulness in the comparison.

I just want to say that I have been following this site for months now and constantly rely on it to keep me updated with good music. Keep up the good work Julie!

I REALLY hear Radiohead in his voice.

I was skeptical about the Radiohead reference too. Almost blasphemous to make a comparison like that. I had to listen to the album about 5 times to make sure. And it is more of a feeling they evoke. Give the entire album a listen. It’s really good!

Sounds exactly like Radiohead to me.

I also hear a lot of Muse in this. To be honest, I’m normally skeptical when a band is compared to Radiohead (the comparison is often wide from the mark), but with the arrangements and intricacies here, I can see where the comparison came from. I hadn’t heard them before your post, but I’m interested in hearing more.

Definitely wouldn’t mind more Matt Bellamys in the world. I’m really liking this record.

good stuff… how is the rest of the record?

-don’t hear much radiohead here, but there’s an obvious comparison to matt bellamy’s (muse) voice.

mojo.
