"This is definitely Edison Glass. The album opens to the kind of layered, guitar-laden, screaming artistry that one expects from EG. Even the songs that struck me as a bit odd during the first listening grew on me pretty quickly. "The End of You" is stuck in my head even as I type this, at least a week after I got the album.



If you tend to discount bands with the word "Christian" in the genre, you still should not skip EG. Bands like Edison Glass, Reliant K, MXPX, and FlatFoot56 are far too good to overlook. These aren't crossover wanna-be bands, they're serious rockers who just happen to sing about things they personally believe and feel (as any serious artist should). These guys may believe things you don't, but listen to the authenticity and great chops they bring to the table.



Other than the song "children in the streets", I felt this was a top-knotch album. While the message of "children" is still valid and good, I felt that it was the low spot of the album in terms of creativity, thoughtful lyrics, musicality, and originality. I wouldn't blame someone for leaving this one song out of the "random shuffle" playlist.



I was totally captivated by "Let Go", "The End of You", "Cold Condition", "See Me Through", and even the quirky "Our Bodies Sing". "Time is Fiction" is a moody, even eerie, bit that closes the album.



I have this album in heavy rotation.



If you have never heard EG before, you should think of a mix between Rush, Led Zepplin, U2, and The Kinks. Sometimes there is a little hint of The Police, too. Those artists are my favorite EG playlist companions, along with MXPX and Delirious?.



This is definitely a "Buy"."

Time is Fiction is Awesome!!!!

"Edison Glass' follow up second full length "Time is Fiction" is a really good album. If you listened to their first album, their second blows it out of proportion.



If you are into melodic guitar playing and harmonic vocals and just awesome rock, listen to these guys!



Many of the songs sound different and do not stick to one genre.



I cannot stop listening to this album, I am never sick of it.



If you are into Jimmy Eat World, The Receiving End of Sirens, Switchfoot, and etc., then you should check them out. They are good! Go pick up the album now!"
