    I found their cd on the floor of my high school, not knowing who they were. From the first song, I fell in love and it helped me with my hardships at that time. It was fate at it's finest moment.

    I'm happy they kept it with just one album, shows how money isn't the most important thing to them cause they could make a lot of another album or right after there first album . Anyways this album was way ahead of its time

    Middle school was kinda hard for me but this album kept me smiling all the way through. I remember listening to it and wondering if I would ever see them live so when I heard about it I got my tickets right away. Thanks for touring and making the best album ever made.

    Wow I remember surfing from vid 2 vid on yahoo back in the day hearing some of these songs when I thought it was new I'm 26 now and I was like 15 I guess. Being high on whatever hearing this music played by friends of the past thinking that those days were set in stone feeling those things again and again when I hear great music like this cause I'm caught in moments of my life that I treasure even when they were bad. Good shit.

    Excuse me? I'm not talking about the show. I think it's disrespectful to not even mention Jen Wood's name in a "documentary" of the album, despite her contribution to the vocals, simply because she was not a part of the touring band.

  • @theimacman
    @theimacman 11 років тому +1

    I don't think that's the reason. It was intended to be a one-off project, and they've stuck to that, despite the pressure to make more.
    And, if you want an album half as good, try Owl City. lol :)~
