"When I picked up this album(Which was recommended by a friend) at my local music store, I wasn't expecting to hear such great musicianship and talent. The melodies and lyrics are hypnotic and stimulating at the same time. My favorite song is "Soulmate", it flows with an upbeat swing and groove that carries its message to the point with stlye.The album, as a whole, delivers a U2-ish blend of artistic guitar works with flowing melodies that get better each time I listen to them. It's only a matter of time before this stuff breaks into the main stream."

Hot! Hot! Hot!

"Anyone who likes U2 will love this hot new CD from Seattle Band, Meriphew. What's cool about the CD is that all the songs are 5-7 minutes long. Meriphew gets into a groove and stays there long enough to satisfy. This is my favorite Seattle band."

Lush - captivating music

"I'm glad I got this one. So far, my favorite songs off it are Underwater and Uninvited Chaos, both of which have a rich lush feel. In some ways it reminds me of Roxy Music's Avalon, and at other times I can hear subtle E-bow riffs that call to mind Bill Nelson. I can definitely hear a U2ish influence, though the songs have a lot of diversity both in style and tempo. If you are looking for a great CD for road trips, this is it. Subtle, complex, easy to listen to and catchy. I'm hooked."
