See Gus Chiggen's review; I couldn't agree with him more. The first half of this album is pretty solid, with tracks like New City, Gravity, The Title Track, and Backseat Driver. However, the second half totally falls short! And what happened to the frontman's vocals? The second half of the record just sounds rushed and horribly produced. If you want this album, do yourself a favor and buy the four songs I mentioned off of iTunes.

The Fold's first record sure has some solid potential. The first four tracks are incredibly fast-paced and catchy; then the album slows right down, stalls a few times and barely runs through the finale, which gets a boost from guest vocalist Matt Thiessen of Relient K.

The first half of the album had one producer, and the second half was produced by someone else in a different part of the country. The frontman for the band has even said in interviews that switching from one producer to another was a mistake. I cannot agree more.

This album shows lots of potential; the lyrical content is solid and the musicians know how to put together some good rocking sounds. With a new record due out in May, I'm excited to see what these guys have to offer.

The Fold is a really talented band. Think of them as fall out boy meets weezer. Wow, what an awesome album.However, I got tired of listening to it after few listens but I still listen to it once in awhile. Highly recommend this album. Their lyrics are way( I want to say way again) deeper than that of their contemporaries like Emery, Run Kid Run, and the Classic Crime( don't get me wrong all three bands rock my socks off). Not too shabby not to shabby for a debut album. Definitely a band to watch for.

With catchy music and thought-out lyrics, The Fold, once again, gives it's listeners something to look forward to. A great effort from a great band, "This Too Shall Pass" proclaims originality and talent in many different ways.

Musically, The Fold's riffs and syncopations are deliciously executed and thought out, although not as often as one would think. The vocals are magnificent -- subtle, powerful and beautifully sung.

Lyrically, the witty and thoughtfulness of "This Too Shall Pass" is unequivocal. Great composition and rythm in the words give one incredible aspect of originality to the band.

Overall, The Fold is a great buy. It's fun to pop in your car-player and go out for a drive. I would strongly recommend this album for fans of Jimmy Eat World, Fall Out Boy and Anberlin.

This is quality song writing- period. The heart put into these songs, making the album and in this band in general is extremely evident.
Playing early in the band's history in 2003 with Relient K was certainly an indication of what they're made of and where they were going. Watch out for them, they're going to be known!
If you really just want honestly good music for your fifteen dollars, you won't regret owning this. This album will stand the test of time and is one that can be played over and over.
These are real guys, writing real songs, about real lives, about a real Creator, with real struggles and the product is an amazing album.
I'll stop ranting; but really, I've bought a lot of music, heard and seen a lot of bands, and this is good music right here.
I've never been more satisfied with buying an album or paying for a show and wouldn't be spending time writing this if I didn't mean that.
God bless.
