DON'T LISTEN IF YOU ARE DEPRESSED

""I can't get out of bed. All I want is the glory (yeah), that I knew, once before I got stung."
I first bought this album when I was going through clinical depression. The combination of the chords and lyrics and vocal style and guitar effects was overpowering. It hit me so hard that I couldn't listen to it for a couple of years. I am recovered now, and I can listen to it again, but it's still stunning. It's not the greatest album I've heard, but the good parts are REALLY GOOD. I find myself singing along to the guitar parts. Enjoy."

Idaho's geshtalt

"Well, I've never written about music, but I think this band - whoever they are - are a band worth condsidering. I find myself truly moved by the mood of this music. At times, it can be incredibly beautiful. Singer/songwriter Jef Martin has a deep soul that he struggles to share with us on this record. It is an uphill battle at first, but I have found Idaho to be a great surprise. Great music. To drive to. Or write to. Or look at the world to. Or just listen to. It will be worth it."
