These guys are amazing! "Kryptonite" was just gaining steam as a single but I wasnt overly impressed, then a friend of mine had me listen to "Loser" and I couldnt believe it, it was one of the best songs I'd ever heard. Lyrics were powerful and it just hit me that this was an incredible band. I then downloaded "Duck And Run" which I totally loved too and finally decided the CD was worth buying. There are so many great tracks on The Better Life, I didnt think anything would top it. Boy was I wrong. When they put out Away From The Sun its so good it makes you not even think about the first CD! "When I'm Gone" was totally overkilled and ruined for all of time, but the rest of the songs on the CD are priceless! The title track "Away From The Sun" is wonderful, and my favorite on there has to be a ballad "Here Without You" which could damn near make you cry.
They put on an awesome live show too. I got to see them play an arena in 2001 with Tantric and Lifehouse opening for them. I'd love to see them do a club date, but these guys rock without a doubt!
