"Love the Cd, but I was really excited for the Bonus track that is advertised. I just got it and there's no bonus track...



So...I'm a little disappointed."

Think Back to the Future Meets Coheed

"This being my first review via Amazon, I'm leery to sing my praises too loudly... Screw it. This album is brilliant!



This album is a worthy buy for Ludo fans and newcomers alike! The story flows brilliantly, the lyrics are well executed and each song represents a beautiful part of an amazing whole. The story of the Traveler and his Bride is evocative. There's no other word that quite sums it up. Ludo evokes the gambit of emotions from the listener when the album is played from beginning to end. When songs are listened to individually you get an epic picture of the characters, their wants and pursuits. It's a short story mixed within a musical roller coaster, and has become a favorite of mine.



It is a rock opera, but in a more epic manner than any I've heard so far, with the exception of Coheed and Cambria... though that series is so epic I feel you need to do research to fully appreciate the music. This album stands alone, and in a manner that requests more than requires repeated listenings: You can listen to it once and come away with an amazing story. It's concise, disarming, and awe inspiring from beginning to end.



Surprising considering the band it came from. Until this point I considered Ludo a back-up band for my playlists. "You're Aweful, I Love You" had several good songs, though only "Topeka" Came close to this level of depth. I'll be watching you, Ludo: You've earned my respect, and perhaps credit card number.



Cheers."
