I don't know what's up with all the postive reviews...

"This CD sucked plain and simple. There is nothing about this band that makes them stand out from all the other radio-friendly bull**** spewed out today. I remember hearing about this band through a music video set to scenes of Legacy of Kain : Defiance and the song was Wake Up. I think the people making the music video realized this band sucked because they took parts out of the song and re-arranged everything to make it sound like a pretty cool song. So, when I saw the music video I was duped and bought their horrible CD. I immediately listened to the "real version" of Wake Up and was sorely dissapointed. Then, I listened to the rest of this boring and uninteresting debut. I wasted my $15. The worst part of this band is their ego too. If you see the enhanced video included on the CD...you will wonder how people making such bad music can have such a bloated ego. I hate this band and I hope they fail at everything they do. The funniest thing is the band's official website doesn't work anymore. So, I think they have failed already. This band won't be remembered or missed and that's a good thing."

"I think this album rocks...with cutting riffs and honest true to life lyrics, this band has something almost everybody can relate to. The tribal druming and crushing bass lines make this an album that will spend a lot of time in my player."
Unbelievable new band about to take off..

"hear this from me-this is one of the best albums of 2003.they dont have a piercing,loud,annoying sound or repetative riffs like typical bands these days.they stick to originality, and it pays off.these guys are great,the cd kicks bigtime,and they tear it up even more in concert.best song-stay with me.buy it now you wont be disappointed."

"It is a bit hard to sum up in words the energy and passion that must have gone in to making this cd, But i can say this is one best records i have hear in a long time the realness that gets translated in to songs is amazing, ...truth comes out and really tapped in to my core, this band will go far get ready for Reach 454. If you want to hear real songs...go buy this Cd."

"Reach 454's debut Self titled album is all u could want and more in a Debut album. I origninally heard about the band on a P2P file sharing program. I heard 1 song by them and was hooked. I joined their street team and helped promote the band. i ordered the CD and received it the day after it was released.The album starts of with their first single "New Scar(Won't Be Like You). An Explosive track to begin with and they never turn back with the hard guitars, killer drum work and melodic vocals. If u r into bands like Cold, Saliva, PM5K, Pappa Roach, and such.... this album is a MUST!!!!"
