CD Reviews
One of my favorite albums of all time

""ism" is truly one of the best bands I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. And as such, "Monkey Underneath" is one of very, very few CDs that I can put on and love each and every track from start to finish. I first discovered "ism" in May 2005 when I saw them perform live at the venue I volunteer at. Ever since that day, I've been a huge fan of their unique and powerful music. Not only because it's great, but also because it invokes such deep emotions for anyone listening. Keep an eye on this band, they're sure to gain wide popularity.
In keeping with Amazon's guidelines, I won't put a direct link here. But should you wish to see photos I took of them live, you can google for "late night series december 2nd"."

"I have been playing with the Pandora site for awhile now; it's a wonderful place to find new music. The site popped up a song from this CD and I instantly purchased a copy. It is a delightfully original and enjoyable disc from start to finish. Do yourself a favor and give it a listen!"
Where have these guys been!!??

"I saw ism last month in Albany and they totally blew my mind. I wasn't familiar with their music, but seeing them play was intense and inspiring. After that, I knew I needed their CD, so I got it, and it did everything except disappoint me. This CD rocks from end to end, and I'm extremely glad that I got it. Track 1, "Beside The Sun" rocked my face off - Definately a rock anthem for this year. I listen to the album at least 3 times a week, and I always hear something new. I love that about music, because every time you listen you may hear or pay more attention to certain things, which enlightens the listening experience and it becomes somewhat of an adventure. This album definately took me on an adventure, and I'm real glad it's mine now!"

"I had heard about ISM through a friend, and after hearing one of their songs from him, I had to buy the album. This album is totally awesome, start to finish, and I'm certain that buying this album was money well spent. Also, these guys put on a kick-ass live show, so I would recommend grabbing this CD and then checking them out live to see how their intense shows compare with this well-rounded CD. Definately worth the investment."
