"Ing are one of those indie bands that you continually seek-out because you know you're never going to be disappointed with the results. "Liberty" is the second CD I've acquired, their first being the slightly more modest (but equally entertaining) "First Version of the Wheel." This is likely due to the fact that the band has doubled its members and is now a quartet. "Liberty" starts out in trademark Ing-stylee with "Confusion"- a track that, if you only read the lyrics, would appear to be woeful and lethargic. In fact, the opposite is true- the track pours with sunlight and chipper ambivalence. Very SoCal. Other standout tracks include "Inside Out", "Drop" and "Good Friday". My one complaint is that the songs go by very quickly, and the album is a tad short. Still, if you like bands with strong lyrics, good tunes and that still have their souls, Ing is a good place to start."

Wow!

"I thought that "Liberty," along with "First Version of the Wheel" were both amazing albums. Ing has really come together and made some awesome improvements, and their music is sounding better than ever. I liked "Liberty" a lot because of the lyrics. I would have liked it if it were longer, but maybe they'll come out with a new album soon...I definately recomend this CD for anyone who's looking for some fun music with great lyrics"
