Doubledrive is not around anymore. Not as we know them anyway. Troy left the band to start up Dark New Day, with another Atlanta based guitarist named Clint Lowery, who comes from Sevendust. In the early to mid nineties, these two played together in the Atlanta music scene, along with Doubledrives' vocalist and a few other prominant musicians in a really great band called Still Rain. When Still Rain disbanded, Doubledrive was born, along with Stereomud and Sevendust. I hope that if you like this album, you hunt down their first. While I love 1,000 Yard Stare,I prefer this album. You should also check out Stereomud if you can find one of their two studio albums. And of course there is Sevendust. Dark new dayis also interesting, sort of a reincarnation of Still Rain. I hope this will help someone trying to decide if they want this album or not. It's great music from a great bunch of guys who only cared about making music, not money. By the way, my favorite track on this album is The Hand.

doubleDrive is one of the greatest most unheard bands of 2000. I cannot see why this band didn't become bigger. If only they had stuck together they might have became something more. The tracks that I rarely heard on the radio are "Imprint" and "11:59", yet everytrack on this album was so good it all should have been on the radio. This cd, I would have to say, is in my 200+ Cd collection as one of the top10 best albums that I own. Every song on this cd is at least 8/10 stars. In my opinion this has to be one of Modern rocks best hidden secrets. My track ratings are as follows...

1: 11:59 - 10/10
2: Imprint - 10/10
3: Hollowbody - 9.5/10
4: Million People - 9/10
5: I Don't Care - 9.5/10
6: Freightrain - 10/10
7: Track #7 - 10/10
8: Evenout - 10/10
9: Inside Out - 9.5/10
10: The Hand - 10/10
11: Big Shove - 10/10

Overall: 97% A

Anyone who liked "Imprint" or enjoys bands like Nickelback, Creed, or Collective Soul should check this out. It's good stuff. Their [EP] 1000 Yard Stare is great as well. If you can find youself a copy of this rare cd, 1000 yard stare, I suggest you do so before they're all gone! ;) Also doubleDrive's guitarist is in a new band called Dark New Day. A bit different sound but they are good too! Oh, and If you've heard all of doubleDrive's songs and want to hear more I have unreleased and rare stuff by them, contact me @ nrlewis@wi.rr.com if you want them.

Start to finish, GREAT CD. 1000 yard stare had its moments, but this disc killed. Way different than their debut, for the better. Great, positive lyrics and old-school guitar solos. Imprint, Hollowbody, Even out, Track 7, it's all good. Too bad they didn't stick it out for a third release, but oh well.

I don't understand the reviewers who call this band nu-metal or this album a sellout. Yes, their first album was better, but this one is still ten times better than anything on rock radio right now. This band is not popularly successful because they represent everything rock fans have forgotten: Straight ahead rock and roll with intelligent lyrics and actual talented musicians. Not to mention a singer who actually SINGS instead of growling or whining. Today's rock and roll sucks, and this band is a very rare diamond in the rough. Check it out, if you like music rather than mindless blather, this is for you.

Unbelieveable album. So's the first one. Both are "can't miss" purchases. I saw these guys at a tiny club in Birmingham, Alabama late one Friday night around 1999 or so after seeing KISS, of all bands. A banner evening of live rock for me.

A friend of mine likened them to Creed (in terms of lead vocals) without the self-absorption. Both albums ("Blue In The Face" and "1000 Yard Stare") offer excellent songwriting and loads of rock. So stop reading this and buy 'em.
