Cloud Cult is the most talented and least cynical band in the last 20 years. Love all 9 of their albums, they have an unbelievable back story. Can't wait to photograph them on May 8, 2013 in San Francisco, most anticipated concert of my 53 years on this wonderful blue orb.

I really enjoy this whole album. But it appears it's not for everyone.

A good song. I'm surprised by the negativity in the comments. Cloud Cult does not play straight up rock. Their music is complex, multi-layered and thoughtful. RP introduced me the CC and now I really like them a lot. To the "haters" out there, relax and let the Cloud Cult sound float over you. At worst, the song will pass in a few minutes and at best the song might take you somewhere new!
 
I dunno, this band sounds more like they are trying REALLY hard for their music to be complex, multi-layered and thoughtful, but failing big time.  Terrible song.  I love prog-rock and a lot of other music similar to this, but this is just bad.

More Cloud Cult please! I love their sound! Some of his songs are certainly more suitable for radio than others, though.

I hate Cloud Cult so much. Every time Bill plays it I turn off PR. It's all I can do. Now I'm going to turn on Spotify and clear my aural palette with some Ronny James Dio. Might elphen rocker save me!

My heart breaks for him...as a father I can't listen to this.  I spent some time listening to CC stuff at first, but it was just about unbearable for me to listen to.  I know it was cathartic for him, and I know he's at a much better place now, but I hear him at a place where I don't want to even think about going - not that it was his choice.  Which might explain why I mute cloud cult when ever they come on.  I'm going to go hug my kids now.

This would be a good song, except for the voices. And the sounds. And the lyrics. And the cheap album cover artwork.

Finally picked up this album. The few that Bill has featured on Radio Paradise are probably the best tracks, but overall, it's a really interesting set of songs - each one seems to emulate a different genre, somewhat.

If you've been listening for the past 24, you need to get some sleep.
Maybe then the music will sound better to you.

Based on all the music I have been hearing on RP in the day, I should just listen at night.

That is such a creepy cover — music is creepy too.  It's compelling.

I have really grown to love the Cloud Cult tracks on RP. Really quite cool arrangements - what the Decemberists might sound like if they didn't take themselves so seriously. Bonus points for lyrics as well...

Nice pizzicato opening, cool cover art, emotive vocals. Works for me!
