"My husband and I saw Buchanan play live in New York while out seeing another band. We were instantly impressed and bought a copy of the CD that night. We've listened to it dozens of times since and it keeps getting better. The songs are captivating and the band is hugely talented. Definitely pick up a copy of All Understood, you won't be disappointed."

"Of all the bizarre places to find out about this cd...I was at Styx's website reading what Tommy Shaw is currently listening to and he mentioned that the band saw Buchanan's soundcheck at one of their shows and they were all blown away. I read the reviews here at Amazon and thought I'd give it a chance.Boy, am I glad. I love this cd after just two listens. It's unlike most stuff I buy. It's a vocal album with great playing, arrangements and production. I love this guy's voice. And these guys can play, especially Todd Sanders, the bass player.Like everyone else says - just buy it and you won't be sorry!"
Addictive - I can't seem to hit the eject button.

"This album is a fresh breath after being force fed the weekly music industry canned bands. It is RAW, VULNERABLE, and WICKED. The lyrics provoke emotion and contemplation, while the music ravages your body. If you are the type who likes to discover an artist with A SOLID SOUND DEVELOPED FROM THE GRASS ROOTS and the talent to become great you should check out this album. And when you're ready to be floored.... Check out the live show. That is where Buchanan really shines. Buchanan was nominated for both the BEST LIVE PERORMANCE & BEST INDIE BAND for the ORANGE COUNTY MUSIC AWARDS in 2002."
Great Album/Great Band

"The album displays a range of emotions and the music and lyrics flow and catch your attention. There are subtle parts to each track that I find very unique and fresh. A fine group of musicians with excellent vocals. I think a wide array of people will enjoy this disk. It is good music plain and simple."
