Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

While the Calling don't blaze any new trails on Camino Palmero, they have revived the power ballad to give it their own emotionally charged spin. And if that weren't enough, they inject so many inspirational messages into the 11 songs on their debut that one could almost mistake them for a contemporary Christian band.

Musically, this band stands proudly next to such earnest forebears as Creed, matchbox twenty, and Lifehouse (the latter makes sense given that Calling guitarist Sean Woolstenhulme's brother, Rick, is Lifehouse's drummer). With their brooding, contemplative lyrics about love, loss, rejection and revenge, the Calling embark on an anxious journey into the state of modern relationships. And while they don't offer any conclusions, they certainly provide an interesting mirror on an apprehensive time. Along with their sturdy musicianship and rhythmically driven melodies, this band very likely will enjoy a longer shelf life than most of their contemporaries. --Jaan Uhelszki



CD Description

The Calling are a five piece rock act from LA and 'Camino Palmero' is their debut album. Frontman Alex Band and guitarist Aaron Kamin formed the band after A&R staff at RCA offered the pair a development deal. The single, 'Wherever You Will Go', is included.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful debut - alternative rock at it's best, 14 May 2002
This is easily one of the best albums, and as the Calling begin to crack Europe the rest of you won't find it hard to see why.

The album begins well, but doesn't really pick up until the anthemic 'Wherever You Will Go', a huge hit in America and the album's standout track. However it doesn't end there! Other stunners include Adrienne, We're Forgiven and Stigmatized. Alex Band's voice is on a par with Rob Thomas and he really carries the album, although he is very, very well backed up by the songwriting and rifferey of the guitarist Kamin. This is one of the album's of the year and it deserves to do well over here!
(buy if you like any of the following bands : goo goo dolls, mathcbox 20, lifehouse, nine days, get the idea?!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Unsure of the calling? Listen to this!!, 10 Jul 2002
First impressions I had of the Calling when I heard them on TRL with my back to the screen was that they were a new breed of American alternative rock that I loved. I assumed that the lead singer was a big burly guy in the vein of Creed's lead singer, what I din't expect when I went on a quest to find out about the band was the lead singer was a tiny young guy. But that's what I got. How Alex Band manages to squeeze such a powerful voice out of such a tiny frame is a question that no doubt will puzzle many people for years but when the results are as wonderful as this who are we to argue?

Camino Palmero has barely been out of my CD or MD player since I got it. Like the equally wonderful Lifehouse's album No Name Face, Camino Palmero is crammed full of songs that most bands spend their career trying to acieve the same emotional depth. Wherever You Will Go is the first single and is an outstanding one to introduce the newest fan to the album with it's blend of rock and meaningful lyrics. If you can find a song that describes the troubles faced by inter-faith or gay relationships than Stigmatized then I will be incredibly surprised. The meaning that the band is able to create is amazing considering this is their first album despite being a band for years.

For me, the highlights is Stigmatized, the future single Adrienne (which I dare you all not to sing after a few listens) and Could It Be Any Harder, a sad and pain tinged song about loss. Also worth a mention is the fantastic Just That Good which is a reflection on the troubles of a life of privelege.

It's hard to pick out a weak track as the truth is you are really picking out the weakest from an album that wipes the floor with most of it's competitors but if I had to choose I guess I would say the opening track Unstoppable is not as strong as the rest but that;s only because I am pushed.

I recomend you invest in this album, crank the volume up, listen to it a few times and prepare to start singing along as every song has a relevance to something!

Sit back and enjoy and start waiting like the rst of us for a UK tour and the second album. This is a must buy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Camino Palmero - The Must-Have Album of the Decade, 29 Aug 2002
Very rarely does an album come along that can be listened to over and over again without eventual boredom setting in, but with The Calling's debut album, prepared to be surprised. The combination of Alex Band's stunning (and only 21 year old) vocals, and the impressive guitar skills of co-founder/co writer Aaron Kamin, make this album hard to resist. "Wherever You Will Go" is the best known and first released, but don't expect the whole album to be ballads. This California rock band know how to write, and they seriously know how to belt out a tune. From the harsh and angry "Adrienne" (...What I'm needing now some sweet revenge...) and insightful "Just That Good" (...What a Nightmare it Must Be Just Being You...) there's never a dull or cliched moment. The most beautiful lyrics are in "Stigmatized" (HAs to be heard live) and "Could It Be Any Harder", and you can tell this is no run-of-the-mill production.

For jaded UK music lovers tired of bubblegum pop and manufactured wannabes, Camino Palmero is a blast of fresh air that'll restore your faith in the music industry. It's not painfully dark and heavy, and it's not sickly sweet. It's unique and honest - by far the most astounding debut this year, or even the decade.
