Includes limited edition 5-song bonus CD with initial run, featuring three live tracks from KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic ('Fly Below The Radar', 'New Mexico' & 'Unstoppable'), an unreleased track ('Thanks') & 'Ask'. 16 tracks in all packaged in digipak format.

CD ReviewsMaybe a little over-hyped sharon edwards | 08/19/2003 (3 out of 5 stars) "I decided to sell this CD back to the store I bought it from...not because it's bad (it's not). It just didn't do it for me and I was prepared to like them. 'It Is What It Is' is undeniably a good, catchy song and it is heads above anything else on this CD. The singer possesses a velvety smooth voice, but one that is lacking any edge whatsoever. After a while, it's hard to care about what he is saying. The production is a little too "mid range" for my tastes as well (or maybe it's my stereo). The sound is a little muddled.The music is sort of orchestrated alternative/roots rock with a pronounced Britpop sheen about it, although not nearly as accomplished as the like-minded Grand Drive. At any rate, I give this 3 stars. Just because I didn't like it doesn't mean it's not any good. There's just not enough twang for me. It's definitely more rock than roots." Great CD, sharon edwards | johnson city, tn United States | 12/02/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "Fly Below the Radar is a great folow up to Road Movies, I like road movies, but its a little to poppy for me. It is What it is, is a perfect opener for the CD, the bonus disk is also great, Tim rocks on New Mexico. If you like their cds you will love them live, the rock, and are the greatest guys ever. Mal (their drummer) is one of the kindest people i have ever met." Crash Into My Room .... sharon edwards | 06/11/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "Fly Below The Radar is a phenomenal follow up to Minibar's first full length CD, Road Movies. New Mexico is both haunting and upbeat, reminiscent of the best of the Smiths as Petty sings 'I Need to Be Forgiven But I Can't Remember For What'. Snake Buckle Belt is a throwback to the time just before adolescence when all seems new and before regrets start to mount. Minibar is in good company with the likes of The Old 97's, The Wallflowers, The Jayhawks, Pete Yorn and if you like any of these wonderful artists, you're certain to groove on this CD too."
