"True this is a pop/alternative rock album... But the damn thing smokes! This cd has it all from the power ballads like "Believe" and "Little Star", to the full force jams of "Contagious" and their first single "Maybe Tomorrow". The guitar playing has a unique style between Rock and Matt bouncing killer riffs off of one another. If your a fan of Staind, Nickleback, Matchbox 20, Puddle of Mudd (who they are currently touring with), et al, then you will definately dig this quintet.
And unlike alot of bands out there the live shows these guys put on are even better than the cd. Don't wait for them to be obsessively played on the radio and MTV, buy it before all of your friends do!"

This CD is a must buy...

"If you like hoobastank and puddle of mudd then you will feel this CD. It does seem to fall in line with the rest of the metal thats coming out now. Anyways, go get before your MTV friends do.."

"Mesh STL is one of those bands I just can't understand why isn't more popular. And after getting their album "Lowercase" early in 2002, I'm still popping it into my stereo regularly.After hearing "Maybe Tomorrow" on the radio a few times, it piqued my interest enough to buy the album. Imagine my surprise to find there are several tracks even better.Mesh STL's sound is kind of like the sound popular in the mid-90s when a lot of the radio bands were actually cool and didn't rely on gimmicks- The Verve Pipe, Days of the New, Soundgarden, Green Day, etc. Lead singer Scott Gertken has one of the best voices in rock. He has great range and doesn't sound whiny at all. By far the best track on the CD is "Leave", a power ballad that showcases the songwriting and singing talent magnificently. Tracks like "I Don't Know", "Believe Me" and "Little Star" are pure unadulterated rock.You people can have your Limp Bizkits and your Creeds. I'll stick with the true great rock of Mesh STL."
