"I've been listening to Bugs in Amber for a few years since their first album, Trafalmadorian (sp?) Philosophy and I can honestly say that this is a great band. I even hung out with the members of the band one great summer a couple summers back. They have refreshing musical talent and Sonny's lyrics are nothing short of genius. Friend or Foe has been a favorite song in my arsenal since their self released EP Friend or Foe, but I was pleased to hear that the other songs have taken on even more depth and beauty. The dynamic of the whole band together and the individual sounds of seven different musical instruments is magical. I would definitely recommend this album to anyone who enjoys Radiohead, Modest Mouse, Built to Spill, and my favorite, Smashing Pumpkins. Try it out...you won't be disappointed! You can see more about them on bugsinamber.com if you're interested."

Finally! Something great to listen to!

"Bugs in Amber have been penned as an orchestra pop band...but they are so much more than that. After reading great reviews of them I decided to check them out live and without a moment's hesitation bought their cd. From "factory paradise" (an anthem for anyone who has been stuck under their supervisor's thumb) to "noon" (I have never even imagined something could sound like this!) to "rockin' chair in the country" (makes you want to jump in a lincoln and drive just 400 miles down the road)...this 7 piece band is unlike anything else out there. I couldn't even choose a favorite song for this review because they are all great! The cd rocks like no other and will become an underground classic without a doubt."

Auditory bliss

"I cannot think of a single band that is more underrated than these guys. By pure luck, I stumbled across their music a few months ago and have since fallen in love with it. While vivacious and lively, their songs somehow manage to also emit a mellow, soothing sentiment to its listeners.



Like the user reviews before me have said, you will not regret checking Bugs in Amber out."
