"Alright people, if you weren't convinced by my sappy love fest review of Limblifter's Balaclava album then this is your chance to redeem yourself and get in the Limblifter camp! Several years have passed since the release of Balaclava, an album that I consider to be one of my all-time favorites.
Limblifter has returned with their new album, I/O. Ryan Dahl, the glue that holds Limblifter together and the principle songwriter has once again triumphed and given the World a taste of his soul.
The selections on this album are at once heart felt and just oblique enough to let you create your own interpretations. That is genius songwriting. I am so glad to have found this talent and believe that these guys should already be a household name by now.
I/O has a cleaner feel to it than the previous Limblifter albums. Songs like "The Auctioneer" and "Drug Induced" are real standouts with their perfect arrangements and instrumentation leaving just enough space for the listener to jump into the song and be a part of the experience.
Excellent work. Limblifter just keeps getting better, if that's even possible!

"I've lived in the States for 10 years now and seemed to have forgotten where I came from. I used to be a super teen fan of AOE and LL and have once again become completely addicted. This album, and Ryan's talent is comletely genius! I can listen to every single song on this album and it takes my breath away. The songs do grow on you and you hear different things and get different interpretations each time you listen. My fav songs are In/Out, Drug Induced, Alarm Bells*** MY FAV, makes me almost cry at the lyrics and sound, Ryan is unbelieveable!!***, Jumbo Jet Headache, and Soft Signals. I just really hope I can see them perform at least once in my life. I saw AOE back in the day but if I could hear some of these songs live I feel like I would just die... in a good way!! GET THIS ALBUM!!! Totally decent rock!!!"
I Think We'll Turn It Up To Full Blast For This One, Or Mayb

"This album is full of genuine, great songwritten songs. Great musicianship and everything else. Loads of hooks and stuff to keep you interested. Totally underrated band that should be at the top of Canada but unfortunately is at the bottom. For those who like this check out the original band of one or two of the members of Limblifter called The Age Of Electric. They have two albums to my knowledge that aren't completely impossible to find and I think one that I can't even find on Ebay called The Latest Plague. The other ones are called The Age Of Electric and Make A Pest A Pet. The latter is their most common and well known. So that is a little background information about a couple members from this band that might be of interest to fans of them. Listen to them both, NOW!"
Such a good Buy... DOoo it!!
