I loved the first single "No Tomorrow", and particularly enjoyed the video - the model is super hot :). The track is energetic and has a great pop sensibility.

However, I was disappointed when I bought the album because, apart from the title track, which also has a very catchy chorus, the remainder of the album slips into the lower side of the mediocrity scale.

This CD is a great find. I would highly recommend it to someone who likes to listen to an album in it's entirety without getting bored by a repetitive sound!

Every time I listen to this album I find myself wondering why Orson aren't mega artists. Their arrangements are interesting, lead vocalist Jason Pebworth's slightly 90's-tinged vocals are sexy and heartwarming at the same time, and the lyrics themselves stray from the standard love lost indie rock music out there right now. On top of that, the guys aren't afraid to experiment - see the 80's lite rock infused "Downtown", the dancey "No Tomorrow", or the 70's soul-rock hybrid "Happiness".

Personal favourites for me include their first single "Bright Idea" about a high school crush carrying through when said crush becomes a celebrity - amazing instrumentation and arrangement here, plus some insanely catchy lyrics/vocals. "Already Over" is possibly tied for best song with "Bright Idea" - a heartbreaking tune about breaking up with awesome harmonies in the chorus. "Look Around" (the token ballad) and "Save The World" (about a 'superhero' girlfriend) are also excellent choices.

Is it too early to be borrowing sounds from the 90's? No, not when Orson mashes them up with influences such as those listed above and throws in a dash of 21st century indie rock. Recommended for fans of bands like Snow Patrol or Bloc Party.

This Hollywood band found its path to success in the U.K. as it usually happens. It is a great band that I was lucky to see live without the new guitarist in L.A. last year. This album is incredible! To me they sound much more musically evolved than similar popular alternative/punk american counterparts like Greenday or Foo Fighters ... 'No tomorrow' is my favorite track... highly recommended, can't go wrong with this album.

...you know those songs that are slaughtered with radio play that the subliminally influenced sheep of society will sing the hooks chorus over and over again? Well a few years back this album and every single on it (aka only two of the songs) was heavily played on daytime radio because it was "popular" in other words...very simply it's this: a few awkward musicians (if you really want to judge on appearance...which I don't they kind of like hats...the drummer has a mohawk I believe) play basic chords with very little progression and simple single stringed riffs...then we have the singer with his usual boy bandish voice and lack of lyric writing...I quote "Hey look at me/I'm as happy as can be/I've found a girl who thinks I rock" wow that took alot of brains to come up with that don't choke on your own tempermental exhaustion...

...so yes it is chorus verse chorus verse and daytime radio loves this...but if you like this kind of stuff...don't be put off by my review and feel free to buy it...I'm just not interested in noise that makes me feel like causing mutiniy and storming the palace gates and comitting regicide with a croquet mallet...
