I left my home to buy Home for an Island. .......2006-05-16

I could easily give this album 10 stars. It was one of the last albums I bought in 2005 and it was by far one of the best that i've bought period. I just recently bought there earlier album "New Beat" I can't believe the difference in these 2 records. "Home for an island" is a much much much better album. This album has alot to offer for everyone. The musical styles change and shift throughout the album and it keeps things interesting. This is an album that for me, it's impossible to get bored with. It's confident, creative, dynamic, cohesive and one of the funest albums to listen to. The drums alone make this album worth buying. It's not often you come across a band that can write music that's so different and new, yet so catchy and listenable. The Exit rocks.

A taste for everyone.......2006-03-11

This was a solid purchase. If you have an ear for a very diverse sounding band, then you should appreciate these guys. Catchy melodies and strangely different yet appealing beats should keep any music lover listening, especially those in tune with an indie rock type sound.

New Progressive Rock. .......2005-11-06

The new album "Home for an Island" by The Exit may signal the direction that that guitar rock is taking: 'back to the future'. This is "progressive rock". The album does have emo and pop punk influences, but also draws it's strength from the "classic rock" era circa the mid-late 70s and early 80s. In fact, I bet that you could have released this album in 1978 and it would have been played on most progressive rock stations.

The drummer sounds a lot like Neil Pert, the bassist sounds a lot like Sting, The guitarist sounds like lots of people, all good. The band likes to go on "serious jams" (that's a technical term that us rock academics use for extended, improvisational drum and guitar instrumental streaks and solos) some verging on some of the art rock of the 70s.

The song development is fairly involved. The band really goes to town when they write a bridge, I mean some of the bridges are pretty impressive. They also write multiple choruses in the same song. The songs build and build until they reach some pretty indulgent crescendos that would make any arena rocker proud. The title track is a prime example. This way of composing songs in several movements with lots of development and syphonic flare is why I think this album belongs in the Classic Rock genre.

Much of the vocal styles, is rooted in newer sounds of emo and the music is actually pretty original. Another surprise that classic rock fans will welcome is the lyrics, which comment frequently on modern Western culture and politics without being pretentious.

Overall, It's a pretty solid, rockin' album. I cruised around with it in my car for a few weeks. It's leaps above the band's first album, which I don't own, but checked out. There are plenty of good songs on the album. They definitely have potential. If you like serious guitar rock that's not "heavy metal", check it out. Looking forward to The Exit's next installment.

Some recommended tracks IMO (in no particular order): "Don't Push", "Home for an Island", "Let's Go to Haiti", "Darlin'" to start. There's nothing bad on the album. We're talking Good, Better, Best here.

Average customer rating: Stellar! Musically Tight Like Fishbone& BadBrains It's a shame they aren't more well known sweet How about that, it's a brand new "Classic Rock" album.

Stellar!.......2007-03-19

If Rhythm sections are your thing, look no further than these boys. The drummer is in the same vein as Neil Peart, Stewart Copeland, Mark Brezecki, and Keith Moon. Absolutely thunderous. The base lines are crist and ultra tight. The guitar is jangly and crunchy.

As for the style..... the over riding sound is rock, and they certainly do jam. But the reggae sounds that are remnisient of the Police rear their heads at just the right moments.

this album was a champion find at a time when this sound needed to be heard. Enjoy every minuet, and play it loud.
Steve

Musically Tight Like Fishbone& BadBrains.......2006-04-22

and in a way 'Outlandos d' Amour" the first Police album(& styalistic similaritis abound).Their song writing is good to sometimes great although lyrically they sound a little young, that's not a crime. I first heard the song Back To The Rebels on the Black Rock Coalation compilation CD 'Rock 'N' Roll Reparations' and liked it enough to look them up on amazon and but the CD. THE RYTHYM SECTION SMOKES! If you like the bands that I've mentioned or anyone supported by the BRC check this out.
I don't agree with the 'classic rock' comparisons of another reviewer, i hear funkrock w/ a good bit of punk and reggae done well.

It's a shame they aren't more well known.......2006-03-27

I bought this CD after hearing the first four tracks off their Myspace website. The single "Don't Push" got me curious in the first place and Back To The Rebels and Home For An Island finished it off. Those 4 tracks remain the best ones on the CD and the rest of the album had to grow on me. That being said, I still love their other songs. One thing you definately get with The Exit is a CD full of songs unique to themselves. You have the harmonica driven Soldier and So Leave Then is peppered with the Saxophone. Overall I love they created 10 catchy songs that are unique. This type of music wasn't my type of thing until recently and I do not regret buying this. It can be found relatively cheap online but even then I'd pay $15 for it if I had to. If you find your way to their Myspace page and like the 4 tracks then this CD is for you.

love it

How about that, it's a brand new "Classic Rock" album........2005-11-02

The new album by The Exit may signal the direction that that guitar rock is taking, 'back to the future'. The album is has strong emo and pop punk influences, but draws it's strength from the "classic rock" era circa the late 70s and early 80s. In fact, I bet that you could have released this album in 1978 and it would have blended right in.

When listening to this album, I could hear fragments of bands like Rush, Van Halen, and The Police. In fact, there is a lot of reggae inspired bass line in the music. The drummer sounds a lot like Neil Pert, the bassist a lot like Sting, The guitarist sounds like lots of people. The band likes to go on "major jams" (that's a technical term that us rock academics use for extended, improvisational drum and guitar solos) some verging on some of the indulgent art rock of the 70s.

The song development is fairly involved. The band really goes to town when they write a bridge, some of the bridges are pretty impressive. They also write multiple choruses. The songs build and build until they reach some pretty indulgent crescendos that would make any arena rocker proud. The title track is a prime example.

Still the music, particularly the vocal styles, is rooted in newer sounds of emo and the music is actually pretty original. It's not a masterpiece, but it's a pretty solid, rockin' album. I cruised around with it in my car for a few weeks. It's leaps above the band's first album, which I don't own, but checked out. There are plenty of good songs on the album. They definitely have potential. If you like serious guitar rock that's not "heavy metal", check it out. I'm giving it 5 stars for effort. For not just handing out the 'same old'. Looking forward to The Exit's next installment.

An amazing album by a truly gifted artist.......2003-11-04

Closer to Home is my favorite album. I have it in my car and just hit Repeat as I drive to work. Janie's music is full of warm melodies and touching lyrics. All the songs on this cd are love songs of sorts: songs about love in early bloom, love that's ebbing, or love that's moved on. Love isn't the easiest thing to write about, but Janie does so with a painter's eye and a mystic's heart. Her music reminds me alot of the Indigo Girls, Patty Griffin and Sarah McLachlan. This album is a definite keeper.

Did I say rich?.......2003-10-23

Janie's voice is rich. Yes, that's it...rich.
Rich in textures and rich in tone.
Her CD Closer to Home brings joy to my ears
and joy to my soul.
And because the subject matter of her original
songs are comprised of awakenings I often find
myself experinecing awakenings when I listen.
Rich
thank you janie worm
