I greatly respect this album. It is partially acoustic (often in the beginning of a song before it switches to very intelligent rock), but also has some ambience to it. Many songs have a sort of melancholy, emo sound but are so musically complex at the same time.

The lyrics as well are amazing. They are deep, but understandable at the same time.

This CD is highly recommended for fans of Mae, Copeland, Waking Ashland, Ben Folds, and the list goes on. They bring a completely new sound to the scene, and I have to say... it sounds great.

I heard about Rookie of the Year about a year ago. I hear Liars and Battlelines and Blue Roses, and was excited to hear their full album. This is an excellent album. I am really impressed with it. There are no songs that come across as filler. Every song is worth listening to. Excellent cd. Buy it.

This Band deserve tons of success, they are amazing guys and this album rocks, i ordered it byut it taken 6 weeks to get ti across to the UK but it going to be well worth the wait BUY IT!!

These guys are great, I have a large studio and they played a venue at my house when they passed through town. I listen to the CD at least four times a week. A must have..
