Summary: Single is great, but its the best song on the album
Comment: Bought the album based on Sometime Around Midnight, which I love. If all the songs could convey the feelings and emotions the single does it would be a great album, but its just not there. Before buying I listened to the quick sound clips here on Amazon and thought I'd like it, but its not doing it for me.

Summary: Great Music... Not a great recording though
Comment: As others have stated, this is a very good CD from beginning to end. If you are a fan of the song "Sometime Around Midnight", you'll enjoy other tracks as well. For me, I was instantly drawn into "Sometime Around Midnight" the first time I heard it on the radio... I loved the lead singer's voice and the fact there is no chorus. Many of the other songs highlight both of these characteristics as well. Two of my favorites include "Wishing Well" and "Missy"
The only downside (and this is a big one for me)... is the horrible sound quality. From the opening track about 38 seconds in I knew the sound quality was going to disappoint. Too bad... it's some great tunage.

Summary: Surpasses Expectations
Comment: I also heard Airborne Toxic Event's "Sometime Around Midnight" on XM and started looking more into the band on youtube. After hearing a couple of their songs, I ordered their CD on amazon. I am sooo glad I did! Normally you buy a CD and you like one or two songs, but this CD is different. Every song is great. The lyrics are brilliant. They sound similar to the Killers. The way they incorporate the violen into some of their music is genious. I love that there is a new band out there to get excited about that sounds similar to the music I like, but with their own unique style that seperates them from the rest. I don't have enough good things to say about this group. Love it!!!

Summary: The More I Listen To This, The More I like It...
Comment: I agree with the reviews above. I saw them open for the Fratellis last week, and I bought their CD there. They were really cool people too.

Summary: Unabashed Rock and F***ing Roll
Comment: Ignore any of the reviews that may paint this brilliant album as a ripoff of other amazing rock bands such as Arcade Fire or Bruce Springsteen (of which this album contains elements of each).
Excuse Airborne for putting some genuine heart into the music, lacing the guitars with venom when need be, and blasting the drums to the beat of heartful poetry. That is what good rock SHOULD BE.
So if you take the album for what it is and ignore any preconceived notions, you'll enjoy a thick, unrefined hour of melodies that make you want to jump up and shout or tap your feet uncontrollably, however you're inclined.
