I would agree with the other "Anonymous" commentor. You do give the band some kudos, but the 80 90 ish comments are way off. I grew up listening to rock, hard rock, southern rock, you name it. LDE has a 2000 ish sound that is entirely different than anything out there. The tunes are dancealbe, singable, or just stand and enjoy the jam. Obviously, you have not seen a live performance of the band. Go see them, then comment.

Ok so this article states that it was posted by “admin”, so I am not real sure who to direct my comments to. Really “was not enough here for me, that had a definitive stamp on it”, I may suggest you go to your local ENT doctor and have the wax flushed from your ears!!! Seriously, LDE produces a sound and a vibe that would get anyone on their feet and dance. It’s moving and uplifting, the lyrics actually MEAN something. I first saw the band a little over 2 years ago and I have been hooked ever since…when they stopped performing in my area as often, I and a friend of mine made it a point to try and go see them in other areas every other month or so. Although I love every single one of their albums, it is nothing compare to their live performances, the energy in the venue that they are performing at is unlike any I have experienced before, patrons on their feet, dancing, laughing, and having the best time ever. The band and their music just give off a good vibe. I personally, think the bad has a unique sound, one of which DOES in fact have a “Definitive stamp on it”!!! So in closing, although I realize you are complimenting the band at points, I think you are WAY off key with some of your statements such as “I kept getting an 80’s slap across the head” or the previously mentioned “there was not enough here for me, that had a definitive stamp on it, a sound that would allow me to pick out this band on the radio for instance.”

LDE Fan for Life!!!

If you can, try and get the UK version of this album. It features a track called "Stray Dog" and is possibly the best track on the album.
I'm mystified as to why it was omitted from the US version.
Still 10 out of 10 for either version

I come from London and got this album sept 2007, I have not stopped playing it since!! For some reason band have still not made it over here! I have seen them live twice and they are brilliant Hopefully the radio stations will see sense and start giving the airplay they deserve!!

I completely agree!! The best album that I have heard in a very long time. It is also the rare kind of album that you love the very first time that you hear it, yet still continues to get better with each play.

Wow, upon reading this review I realized that there are others who can appreciate the sheer genius of music. How well the words and intrumentals hormonize and mesh fantasically together. I bought this CD through bn about two months ago and have idolized it since. Passenger has quickly become one my favorite addictions.

In full agreement with you Mark,saw these guys play an accoustic set supporting the also very excellent David Ford in Atlanta,brought the cd and have been hooked ever since,up there with the debut from Fleet Foxes as well.....
