good, but forgettable.

I'm one of the many that ran out and bought this cd when "Wherever You Will Go" hit airwaves and Alex Band's pretty-boy good looks had thrown so many girls into a frenzy. This also seemed like a good back up to listen to when I was tired of Creed or Lifehouse cds. (Creed fans admit it - when you weren't in the right mood for Creed, you listened to Lifehouse instead, and you know it!)



Well, I was a bit disappointed by this disc. I was expecting a whole album of power-ballads similar to "Wherever You Will Go," and got a disc that, as a whole, just isn't as interesting as that hit single. Frankly, it's boring. Not that it's just dreadful or a waste of money; if you're looking for something mellow to relax to, this is the record for you. Because nothing on this album is going to get your attention too much. Should you buy this record? I'm not saying yes or no... but if you do buy it, buy it used, and save some money. Key Tracks: Wherever you will go, Adrienne, and Could It be Any Harder.

Laughable!

The Calling can be one of the worst bands to come from America in the last decade. Their lyrics are so poppish and cheesey and their tunes are not even worth a penny. It's funny how they keep playing the same rythem in a way over and over and over again, and people can't even see that!



I suggest all you people who consider this a great 'rock' album (what an insult to rock) to get off the couch watching Mtv and eating corn chips and get great albums from bands like Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Oasis, The Beatles, etc.



This is garbage.

The Calling: Pure Genious

This band is my second favourite behind Lifehouse. The Calling seemingly came out of nowhere at the end of 2001 with their 1st CD released called 'Camino Palmero'. This is a album of refreshing genious. All songs are packed with messages for today's youth, of hope, love, friendship, honour and trust. The hit songs of this CD, 'Wherever You Will Go' and 'Could It be Any Harder' are probably the two best sounding songs musically and lyrically. This young band are well on their way to becoming famous. Move over Matchbox 20, this group of Californian young men have their heads screwed rightly and the songs are sung amazingly. The lyrics of each song are set out to mean something, its the interpretation of us listeners to figure it out.
