Wonderful blend of styles - I await a US tour

"Haven are more accessible than Radiohead, more upbeat and driving than Travis, and more melodic than Coldplay. I think this is a stellar release - every song is a gem."

Good and overlooked

"This good and overlooked band has much of the reminents of other UK bands that it follows, with such similar ounds of early U2, radiohead and Buckley. It's good album. If anything a bit slow and awkward in the begininning, to the point that it is hard to connect or really get into the music. But don't throw it out of your player yet. "say Something" is ultimately beautiful, along with songs like "Sleep" and "Outside" that just simply sound cool. A lot of intricate guitar work make this record seem easier and more hip to listen to.
The basic truth is that, if you are into other UK bands like Starsailor and Coldplay that have gotten some or great recognition, then there is a good chance that you will find a home with this one.There might not be anything revolutionary here, but that does not demolish the fact that this is a solid debut, from a band that has promise."

A quite enjoyable album

"The first time I had ever had of Haven was hearing the wonderful "Let it Live" on satellite radio. I decided to check them out further. I must say that I wasn't dissapointed. And though this album will never reach "classic" status by any means, this album is definitely worth listening to. The musicianship is great, the songs contain good melodies and catchy hooks, and the vocals are decent as well. If you're a fan of other Brit-Pop bands, you should enjoy this album. However I feel that Haven do bring something a bit different to the table. I'm really sure that I can give an accurate comparision to another band as far as sound goes. Maybe a bit more heavy Coldplay with a sprinkle of early Radiohead, with Jeff Buckley vocals."
