"This CD is good... and GOOD JOB to you, reader, for even happening to ponder purchasing this cd... yeah... Anyway. I dig the CD because the music is good. Yeah. Ancient Greeks have a great sound to them. They really utilize their fifths and sevenths, making a great kinda spacey-futuristic sound, if you ask me. well.. maybe not spacey... or futuristic... okay fine, i take it back. They truly have an orginal sound that one wouldn't find on the radio or even... well most genres... except jazz... 'Cause nobody really uses those seventh chords... hell, they're even MAJOR seventh Chords... nobody really uses those. Yeah. It's good music. I dig the sound, the use of horns within the music.. and each song really sounds like a jam session, so you feel pretty at ease when listening... however THAT reason is also one of the reasons that one would NOT like the songs or the cd... they get repetetive with the changes going over and over again, and the ideas getting played over and over again... all of this over and over again. So yeah... i like the cd. OH! my friend, who likes System of a Down... doesn't like the singer's voice. I for one dig it. The singer sings in the upper male registers... REALLY high.. stuff i'm not able to hit in the morning.. or actually.. i never hit that jive, i suck at singing... yeah.. yeah i do. SO... good tunes, good times... You probably won't hate the singer's voice. Just a thought though. yeah. get this CD... you won't be disappointed unless you were hoping it was Justin Timberlake or Kid Rock... actually.. if you WERE hoping it was the aforementioned musical figures... then i hope you get help... cause you know this CD is by Ancient Greeks... and i hope you weren't hoping that this CD had the voices ancient Greeks like Odysseus... or... Hercules.. or something like that. Wow.. that joke was bad.. i'd better delete it...HAVE A NICE DAY!"

Good album

"I don't think I can top the surely drug-induced review of the last guy, but still this is a great album well worth a purchase. I listen to a wide variety of music and I can't think of any that strikes me the same way this does. It's REALLY mellow, kind of jazzy, but I've still found myself rocking out to it. Just check out that lay up MP3 on this page. If you like that song, you'll really dig the rest. Watch out though, it doesn't work on some CD players, which proves all the better how hardcore you are by purchasing it"
