Hmm, I give you credit for soliciting opinions in a relatively direct, non-devious way. We've made mockeries of previous street-teamersbefore, when they come in acting like total tools.
The music is well crafted and pleasant, and earnest. However, it's also music that wouldn't sound out of place being overplayed on my wife's radio station. With that in mind, you guys ought to go places. For my own tastes, I probably wouldn't invest in the disc. I do sincerely wish you guys tons of success; you seem worthier than fuckin' Matchbox 20 and Hoobastank ever will be.

lord forgive me for being an ass
i agree - should do pretty well, but only because this isn't a just universe. i can't imagine a track much more vapid and derivative than "kingdom come"(?) i just listened to on the website. my mom rocks harder than this band (i woulda said my grandma, but that would be lying). snooze-rock. formulaic. irritating. i'd rather listen to nickelback, and that says a lot. sounds like you structured each song around the dullest bass line imaginable.
sorry, just my opinion, but it sounds soooo...formulaic. gutless. i'm vaguely pissed at myself that i'm still wasting my time thinking about it..
that's it. oh shit - just scanned the site while reviewing the songs to decide if this review is warranted, and...it brags about having a song in a pontiac commercial? is that right? now there's no hope that i won't post this. shit.
kudos for the upfrontness, tho, i suppose...even if it is kinda lame...
