"I, like most independent music fans take much pleasure from the warm, surrounding sound of analog tape. I don't know if The Promise Ring officially use magnetic tape as their standard, but the warmth and comfort this recording brings is surpased by none. Some people (you know who you are) shun anything The Promise Ring has done since Nothing Feels Good. I think the band has just elvolved and become a much more complex group with interesting melodies and lyrics. Stand out tracks; "A Picture Postcard" and "Heart of a Broken Story." 30 Degrees from Everywhere is most deffinatly an album that is best when listened from start to end in one sitting. That is my review."
Wow

"This cd rocks so hard, ive had the cd for 2 weeks and havnt got past tracks 1-5. I dont listen to much emo, but if all emo sounds like this i think i will."
CLOSE TO POP/EMO bliss

"The Promise Ring manage to sing about any weird thing to mexican chocolate to cherry coke to their favorite sweaters to cortex. Some may say it's irrevelant, but I call it funny lyrics with gentle indie riffage and what some coin "emo". Buy it if you like."
