Customer Reviews of This Album/CD |

very good, but underrated album Submitted on: 2009-08-22 |

| when i first heard this group, i downloaded their tracks, "mirrors" and "stay the same" i had almost written them off as something simular to jimmy eats world, or dashboard confession...but when i finally invested in the cd, they started to come off more to me like taking back sunday, or to a more similar degree-armor for sleep...the music was very nice from track to track, not too loud, but at the same time not to mellow to put me to sleep. i recommended this album to my sister, who also has similar tastes, and even she liked it. i just wish these guys would get more exposure, coz this is a really good cd. |

Bland, Boring. Disappointing. Submitted on: 2006-01-23 |

Don't be fooled by the Amazon review where at the end it says: "For fans of Sunny Day Real Estate, Death Cab For Cutie, Ben Folds, and Jimmy Eat World."
If you buy this album based on that, you'll be sorely disappointed. These guys make Something Corporate sound hardcore. Many of the songs sound eerily similar and they all have a very slow dragging quality to them. The songs go nowhere.
One plus is that the songs do present a good message. But that's about it.
Fueled By Ramen usually signs some great artists but I think they may have missed on these guys. Sorry, it's just not that good. I'd give this cd away. |

nice album Submitted on: 2006-01-17 |

| i really like days away's style. they are a great indie band that is mellow enough to listen to while you are working on something else, but there's enough substance to enjoy what you're listening to. the songs are super catchy and very melodic. you can't help but sway and sing along to the songs. a great album and worth taking a listen to. |

| Just caught this band last night as part of a 4 band show. The CD captures their sound which is complex and very compelling. The rythem section is one of the all time best and tightest I've seen. Buy the CD and watch for these guys playing in your town. |

A little cheesy but still has some great tunes - overall a pretty good indie rock album - 4.5 stars Submitted on: 2005-06-26 |

Days Away's "Mapping An Invisible World" is a very good indie rock album with a couple flaws. Like a lot of other similar albums, it's a bit cheesy and a guilty pleasure (the singer isn't that likable I would argue). The lyrics aren't really that interesting either. However, they definitely know how to create some very catchy songs. The musicianship verges on great, and it's usually fun to listen to. I don't think that it's for everyone, but indie rock fans might like this. "Gods & Mars" definitely gives it some greater appeal, though. That track alone bumps it to a "4.5" from a "4". Overall I think I would recommend this.
Highlights include:
"Gods & Mars"
the rest are good, too, but that is the best one here |
