Customer Reviews of This Album/CD |

 The best Live CD
Submitted on: 2009-06-29 |

Live is definitely one of my favorite bands, and this is my favorite Live CD. Not many CD's take you on a journey from beginning to end, but this is one of them. The Spiritual journey of the songwriter is subtly documented beneath the powerful sound of the music.
This is one of the only CD's I have ever had to replace due to scratches since I have listened to it so much! |

 Just OK!

| This album is OK, but not nearly as good as Throwing Copper. Some songs are annoying and I have to skip through them. It doesn't even sound like the same band. |

 Good solid live release

I know in this day and age, or probably on any day and age one would hardly buy a whole album if only one song was worth the while.
Distance to here is a solid Live album, just as every Live album, solid as in good as we have come to expect and solid as in "yes it sounds like their previous or even their newest albums" that is not a bad thing is you are a Live fan.
Sometimes a band can re-invent themselves without alienating some of their fans, most of the time they can't, so it is reasonable to see how some bands just decide to stick to their guns and give their followers what the have come to expect.
There are two really outstanding songs in this album, in my opinion.
Dolphins cry and Meltdown, the second being probably one of the best Live songs ever, this song, by itself, makes buying the album a good purchase.

A Cohesively Wrought, Beautiful, Brilliant Work of Art
Submitted on: 2007-09-20 |

| This album is to my mind the tightest concept album I've ever heard, portraying the experience of a person discovering spirituality through love. Each song is "a good song" on its own, but each one turns into a recapitulation of the overall message, whether by showing the person's transformation from a particular perspective or at a particular stage in time. Oh, and during this journey the songs explore some core ideas of Christianity and Buddhism. The lyrics of the songs are highly inter-referential and the album focuses intently on its central theme -- while simultaneously exploring widely in its interpretations (it's a long way getting to where you already are...). The music is potent, intricate, original, emotional, and utterly vibrant at all levels, if somewhat difficult to categorize. I am particularly fond of the drumming, but it's all top-notch, and many people will probably find the guitar work very remarkable. I have listened to this album more than any other I own, and consider it my favorite work of art by far. |

| This album is one of their best. I have not listened to this album in a while and while driving put it back in my cd player. I am always blown away by the writing and the music these boy's make. This cd is brilliant! |
