Customer Reviews Takes me back It's fantastic. This is Pacific Northwest hippie music circa the late '90s. I was a total metalhead back then and a friend, who was also not a typical listener of this kind of music, got me hooked on them. I saw them live twice: once in Idaho and once in Washington. I had a chance to see them in Alaska, but blew it. I really wish I had gone. This disc, above all others, takes me back to a specific time, place and mindset. Of course, not everyone will have the same experience I have with this music, but it is still a great, laid-back album for a sunny or rainy day. The vocalists sound great together and the instruments are smooth. It's the only hippie jam band I'll listen to. If a dedicated metal fan who would only listen to Cannibal Corpse, Bolt Thrower and Nevermore enjoyed this album, the least you can do is give it a shot. Fantastic! While it doesn't have the same up-tempo happiness that the group did live, it's still one of my all-time favorites for any mood. I bought this album at a live show. Terrific Sound This is one of those rare CD's where, when you listen to it, you actually feel like you are in the same room with the artists. .
