Really? I like his voice...loads of emotion. He reminds me a bit of Jeff Buckley.

I actually really like this guy's voice. Maybe it's the same reason that I really like Jeff Buckley's voice, the same timbre or something. I alway perk up when I hear one of their songs and then realize it's Starsailor.

Nice tempo and build up with a compelling melody.

The lead singer's glam-rock girly-man voice, maybe?

I fully understand that. No sorry. It's a fine choice. It's all about taste, you know.

yep. that's it. I couldn't place it but , like quasimodo, it was ringing a bell.

I have mixed feelings about the song, though, I like it and I don't like it at the same time. a little odd.

This is the first time Starsailor catches my attention. Nice song. I don't know why you guys complain about the vocals, but hey, if David Surkamp of Pavlov's dog still has the voice he used to have, he would be perfect for singing this song.

I like this song. I haven't heard it since college radio a few years ago, so I had forgotten it. Thanks for the reminder, RP.

A band with a lot of potential and gobs of talent, some terrific songs, and a charismatic lead singer, but I have to admit, I can only listen to a few tunes of theirs at a sitting. The singer's overwrought emotional vocals can be a bit much.

Yeah, I gave the song a decent rating, but I had exactly the same reaction: Good music, decent lyric (a bit repetitive), but someone please just put him out of his misery and get a new front man, eh?

I really like this CD, too. Some damn gorgeous songs. The only complaint I would have is that they need to work on expanding their lyrics a bit. They oft get a bit repetitive.

Is it because I'm a child of the seventies, I like this band? Probably. But I think they are more than just an updated version of some of the things that happened then.
Besides the great amount of crap, released in the seventies, some of the most inventive popmusic was put forward, that decade, IMO.

I just can't handle this.... Not that it's not good, it's just not my taste. Too 70's sounding to me. Too space-rock...
