This is yet another great release from Tooth and Nail records. The first 6 tracks are super and the others aren't bad either. Can't wait for their sophomore effort!

The tunes are not so bad. It's the lyrics that kill me. I can't listen to this album because they make my ears hurt. The words are cliched, sad, and fail to be the pretentious emo poetry that they aspire to me. Phrases like, "The coldest heart can be brought life when it's thrown into the fire of goodbyes," could very well be a parody of the genre. Yet it's belted out with all sincerity. It touches on all the stereotypical keywords and fails to make sense. Wake up, wannabe scene kids! This is garbage.

This is by far the most played album I own. A friend of mine recommended them to me, and sent me samplers for "Who Needs Air", "The Poet", and "Headlights". I would recommend this album to anyone who likes harder rock with amazing lyrics you can actually understand.

One of the best hard rock albums I have in my collection. My only complaint is that they go soft and pop-rock on a couple of songs. However, the vocals are great and the they have a unique and original sound.

the day it was released. I must say that I've been listening to it ever since. There's something about this band that really does it for me. "Albatross" is a great album that's packed with catchy hooks and melodies. I like every song on it! Ignore all the reviews out there that labeled this album as "average!"
