Excellent

"While this CD may not be as poppily accessible as their previous noninstrumental cds, this cd is nevertheless filled with "pop" moments and as with all Departure Lounge cds hightlights the tightness and ability of the band to incorporate different styles and distill these styles into departure lounge songs. Seeing departure lounge live is an incredibly moving musical experience, and their recorded efforts show how musically dexterous, tight and versatile this band is. It may take a few listens, but it is worth it. Of course, many of the songs do have instant appeal creating the "pop" in the moments, but the value of Departure Lounge cds generally, and this one as well is their appeal after the passion of the first few listens wears off. You still love them in the morning."

Only a couple of good songs, rest is mediocre

"i wouldn't have purchased it if i had listened to it a little further before turning in my cash. first song (straight line to the kerb) is good, second song (what you have is good) is okay. i couldn't care less for the rest of the songs.disappointment."
