CD Reviews

Really appeals to those of us getting older

"while i think everything the souls have done is great, they suprised me with this one by writing songs that seem to be more "crafted" than "spit out" this time around. and that's a good thing. the ususal underdog themes are here, but with a bit of a feel that indicates that the guys aren't as knee-jerk as they used to be. i'm sure countless reviewers before me have already mentioned the "maturity" present here, and they would be right. this record needed to be made, and i think time will only show how poignant it is. it's one that, 5 years down the line, people will re-discover, like jawbreaker's "dear you". and wonder how they didn't see it as a classic right off the bat. well, because they didn't yet have some of the necessary experiences yet, that's why.

i could break this record down track by track, but the truth is, every song has such a thorough, unique feel to it, they're all keepers. i venture to say that this is arguably the souls' best record, but i am swayed by the fact that it speaks more to fans that are 30 instead of 17 this time around, and i am closer to the former. every record of theirs is special, but this one just has a quality that resonates with me more than ever right now. feeling older or out of touch a bit, maybe? not sure if the souls still do it for ya like they used to, years back? pick this one up and you'll find that they've still got it, and they'll still convince you that you do, too."
5 STARS REFLECT

"This album is from the heart.Theres almost too much heart.This cd made me think about who I am.Theres honesty and sad songs.But mostly this cd is hopeful.VERY TOUCHING.The lyrics are amazing like for example ''A shield from the pain or a trap that keeps it all in they tried to break me down i HAD TO BREAK AWAY WOKE UP FROM THAT NIGHTMARE TO START ANOTHER DAY'' those lyrics I just said are so hopeful.It made me think about honesty and how to make myself feel better instead of worse.Talking and listening to people is what saves peoples lifes."
Amazing.

"If you are considering the purchase of this album, don't hestitate. It sucks that you do not own it already, but Souls fans are willing to forgive (under conventional circumstances). Anyway, the tracks on Anchors Away not only have the classic amazing Souls lyrics and hooks, but this is the best sounding Souls record yet."
