Customer Reviews Nothing else like it I highly suggest it. The album Two Years to Never is one of the best albums I have ever bought. Don't listen to what Chris Hunnicut has to say, he's foolish. If you're looking for a great Christian rock album that brings the message and the rock, this one's for you. Also, if you like Ghoti Hook, check out Kutless, because GH isn't making any more tunes. Absolutely awesome album-- There's nothing like it Ghoti Hook really took a huge step when they made this CD, and took a big chance on top of it (as you can see from some of the negative reviews on this site). This is probably my favorite CD of all time. I can't fit this music into a genre, which is a great thing in my opinion, especially when the music is so good! It's got a little bit of a classic rock or 80's sound to it, but it's mixed with punk rock in such a way that it is still upbeat, driving, and very melodic. All the instrumentation is of a much higher caliber than Ghoti Hook has ever done before, and the songwriting and song structure is incredible. The guitar work is great, especially in many of the songs' bridges where, even if you're a guitarist, you'll find yourself asking "how did they do that?" There are some great solos and smooth chord progressions, such as in "Mach 3". The production is leaps and bounds above Sumo Surprise and Banana Man. The guitars are smooth and full, and the entire mix is very warm. Joel Bell's vocals sit very well in the mix and you can really tell how hard he worked on his voice going into this recording. He's got a great range of vocal styles from his classic growl to a softer sound which you can hear in "It's alright," "Lullaby" and especially "Next to Me. " Joel was truly meant to sing this kind of stuff (He always seemed to struggle with the punk thing in my opinion), and this is the music Ghoti Hook was always meant to play. They truly found their sound, and it's a shame that their fan base didn't appreciate it. It's too bad they broke up (After another high quality EP mentioned earlier), because it would have been awesome to hear some of the stuff they could write in the future. This album really sounds like nothing I've ever heard before, and after 3 years, I'm still not sick of Two Years To Never. I hope some day I'll be able to find another CD like this. Until then (And I'm sure even after), it will keep spinning in my CD player. Excellent Album This is one of my favorite albums released by Ghoti Hook. It's extremely sad that Ghoti Hook broke up. Alot of people were upset that Ghoti Hook switched from punk rock, to a more alternative type sound. I, myself, think the change is great. They sound great. I also highly recomend Ghoti Hook's final release, which was an EP released with Velvet Blue Music. You can purchase it at velvetbluemusic. com. .
