"Cause and Effect may have been touted as a Depeche Mode wanna be on their first album, but with this second album, it is doubtful that you could say the same thing. This is one of those rare albums that is so fresh and new that you just listen to it over and over again. When I first bought this CD, I thought I would wear it out.
It's hard to define their music. It's not pop or rock, or new wave, or alternative, but rather it's possibly a little bit of each of these.
My favorite song is Crash, but that's not saying much since I'm enamored of the whole album. It's Over Now kicks off the album and moves into Inside Out, Alone, and then to the haunting In Shakespeare's Garden. Soul Search was a radio favorite and deservidly so. Stone Girl will have you humming and singing along with it long after the song is over.
There's not a whole lot that anyone (I'm prejudiced mind you) could find fault with on this dynamite album.
Get it - you'll love it!"
Great album

"I don't remember how I stumbled onto this album because they never played any Cause and Effect on the radio, but this was a brilliant album, it ranks in my top 10. Wish more people knew about this band, nothing too fancy, just some all around good synth-pop music.
Go out and buy this CD if you are in the mood for some good music. They just don't make them like this anymore."
Fantastic songs, great melodies, great moods

"I love this album (obviosuly). The songs are really original and memorable. For me, the test of any great song is how well it sticks in my head. If I find myself humming it later, it's usually a great song (okay, some really bad songs can get stuck in my head too, but they're the exception). Anyway, the vocals are great. If you're into any kind of synth pop stuff, this is a must own."
Seamless

"I have to agree with the masses here. When I bought this CD way back when, I swear it didn't leave my CD player for months. It's one of the few CDs that I own that simply flows from track to track without giving a single reason to hit the "next track" button. I need to purchase it again as my original is getting kinda worn out. Ah well."
Not to be missed...

"Some people might complain that Cause and Effect are a DM knockoff, but clearly they made it clear that they are not on this album. After the untimely death of their songwriter, the Sacramento-based group made its way to London to record with a famous producer, and the results are astounding. If you are looking at these reviews and don't have the album, you definitely need it now."
