Ever since your 10 year old kid brother got the first Linkin Park album its been an up hill battle for genuine music fans. With so much corporate, money grabbing music around these days, true music fans are having to dig a little deeper in order to get their hands on truly challenging and original music.
A handful of bands still manage to make music that maintains integrity and is true to the roots. Finger Eleven are one such band. After developing a dedicated fan base through sheer hard work and bloody mindedness, all their efforts are finally paying off.
This album, their third full length effort, sees the band veer between angst filled heavy rock and emotion filled slower songs. There is never a dull moment on the album. The roller-coaster ride that is 'Good times' and the lively 'The last scene of struggling' show the band at there most adventurous while slower numbers such as 'Thousand mile wish' and 'One thing' show the versitilty of the band whilst giving the album a very balanced sound.
When all is said and done, this album is a very good album. With no clear super hits, its the consistancy that the band maintain that is unique. Trust me when I say that this will be in your cd for a long time to come.

This album came as a real shock to me. i first heard finger eleven on ssx3 and i became hooked on the song 'good times'. i decided that that song was agood enough reason to get the album. and how right i was. when it was delivered, i put it straight into my cd player and it's hardly come out since. the variety of the tracks is amazing. from powerful rock like 'good times' and 'other light' to mellow acoustic music like 'thousand mile wish' and 'one thing'. It has a wide variety of music that makes this band one of the best.
i gave it four stars because the lyrics are brilliant in the first few song, but some of the latter songs like 'conversations' lack the inspiring songwords of scott anderson. this is well worth getting.

Wow. This album is amazing. From the moment the guitar riffs of "Other Light" hit you to the moment "Obvious Heart" fades into obscurity I was hooked almost 100% of the time. With both brilliant vocals and excellent lyrics this album stands out as the best one in my collection. There are however 2 songs that for me are slightly below the generally high quality of the others, "The Last Scene of Struggling" has great verses but the chorus lacks the same quality due to the irrating samples in the background, and "Panic Attack", which just doesnt work as well as the other songs. They arent bad songs, dont get me wrong, but they just dont cut it with the others in my opinion. Look out for "Thousand Mile Wish", "Other Light", "Obvious Heart" and especially "Good Times" the best song on the album and one of my favourite of all time. Buy, buy, buy, you wont regret it.

Another excellent album
I've been a fan of Finger Eleven since they released their debut album ("Tip") way back when.
Full of strong songs, the lead off single is probably the best ("Good Times"). Read more

Not bad, Not bad at all!
One of the string of bands that seem to be coming out of Canada at the moment, with a similar feel to the rest but perhaps the most talented of them all. Read more
