"After only hearing the track "Human Beings" I decided to dish out the cash to buy this CD. While waiting for it to arrive I read a review in NME saying it was a [bad] album. Needless to say my expectations dropped. When it arrived I popped it in my CD player and my jaw dropped. There are not a whole lot of albums out there that give me goose bumps, and this one did. Full of brilliant vocals, soaring guitar parts and well crafted songs, Under The Waves gets my approval and NME gets a kick in the nuts the next time I see them. Trust me you won't be dissappointed, and you can tell all your friends about this find!!"

Finally, what you've waited for!!

"If you like finding out about amazing new music that you'd never hear on the radio here in the states then listen up. Aren't you tired of all that useless radio music? Time to take a chance here. But this is minimal risk. I seriously doubt that anyone with an open mind to great music will be disappionted with this disc. Just so you know, I have well over 3000 cd's in my collection and Under The Waves has been in constant rotation ever since I got it a few weeks ago. It definitely stands up to several, several listenings, and keeps sounding better and better. So take it from a musician and someone who doesn't write any reviews here, if you don't get this cd, you're missing out. This band sings delicious, moody rock songs with hooks so huge, they'd catch a whale. The vocals build and soar and guitars crash in without being overdone. Some tunes have an amazing haunting quality. I can't get enough. Get it? Now go get it!! You'll thank yourself soon."
