| volnomad (Somewhere, Not Here) | Posted: Dec 02, 2008 - 13:30 Seen them several times because my wife loves them. They can be a lot of fun in concert, but seemed a bit burnt out the last two times... |
| TheKing2 (waving, not drowning) | Posted: Nov 01, 2008 - 03:21 This indeed sounds like a great live band. But even in this studio recording there is a lot of energy. Kevin's voice sound a bit like 10'000 maniacs Terry. |

I LOVED them. And their music always brings back awesome "90s" memories...*sigh* |

| steeler (Staring, blankly, into the abyss) | Posted: Jun 27, 2008 - 05:47 This strikes me as mechanical and antiseptic. With the idea behind these lyrics, the song should be infused with emotion. And it isn't. |

Nice to hear this once every few months (as opposed to radio which plays us into submission with their regularity). Couldn't agree more. A steady diet of this stuff? No. But once in a while, in the middle of the day, it's nice to get one of those, "ah, I remember what I was doing when this song was out" moments. |

Sorry to all the nostalgic in the audience but we can do better. Yeah, that's true, but its nice to hear these songs once in a while . . . and that's what Bill does. Nice to hear this once every few months (as opposed to radio which plays us into submission with their regularity). |
| radiogaga (Wilmington, NC) | Posted: Jul 21, 2006 - 15:40 Recorded a cover of this acoustically with a friend and he was so impressed he said it sounded "better than better than ezra." We both busted out laughing. Not sure it actually did but we laugh everytime we hear this song. Saw Kevin and crew live in Denver. Very good show. He's writing songs for like Jessica Simpson now. All their albums have something good on them. |

How Does Your Garden Grow has some great stuff, but I consider them part of that downward trend where promising artists of the mid to late 90's were producing crap by the 00's... BTE, Third Eye Blind, Liz Phair... |

Ezralite I agree. Saw them in a small local bar many years ago. The music was excellent and they really knew how to get the crowd involved. |
