Summary: Lush, Musical, Emotionally Calming Beauty
Comment: One of my favorite CDs, for a long time now. I love to drift in a pool, enjoying small amounts of some calming substance, and let Zero 7 float me away on colorful clouds of beauty. Almost as good as meditation.

Summary: Ripping themselves off
Comment: 2 1/2
Decidedly average follow-up to a warmly received debut, the easy-listening techno outfit decides to virtually mimic the original's success. I do not necessarily need bands to constantly evolve (although it can be nice) but WIF feels like a blatant retread of ST, minus any edge or soul. The vocal songs are worse (except the smartly sung last track) and some of the chord transitions prove songwriting skills to be severely limited, in that the structures parallel those from before to a tee. Only a few instrumental tracks get to even stretch a bit production-wise, breaking a sterile grip from bland electro-pop.

Summary: Plods along
Comment: Loved "Simple Things" and wanted to love this album, too. I've spun it at least 10 times. Execution is outstanding, vocals are incredible, musicianship is flawless, BUT the overall sound is slow, plodding, less than thrilling. Apologies to all those rating this a 5, but I think the vast majority would at least admit it doesn't measure up to "Simple Things"...so if that's what you're after, keep looking.

Summary: Pretty nice
Comment: It is nice chill music for a drive where you want to ponder life. I was listening to this and got into a car accident, not because of the music though. It really didn't seem fitting to get into a car accident when you are listening to such soulful music. I also recomend Theivery Corporation if you like this style

Summary: If your a fan of Zero7.....
Comment: I put it in and I was hoping it sounded like the Zero7 I love, and it did. I play it all the time and get compliments from people who have no idea who the band is. Zero7 is a staple for me to bring life back into perspective when things get a little hectic.
