    While Alexander, is not exactly the most varied albums, it is pleasantly--and impressively--cohesive, balancing just the right amount of sun-drenched melodies and unhinged heartache. [May 2011, p.83]

    "Awake My Body" crash-lands somewhere between "Yellow Submarine" and Harry Nilsson's kid-friendly "The Point!" and it's as clumsy as that analogy implies. When the songs stay on track, though, they are often otherworldly.

It can easily take you to a blissful awareness

    É incrível a sensação de liberdade e coisas boas que sinto ao ouvir este álbum, as melodias e as letras totalmente incríveis, faz desse álbum algo que se deve prestar atenção e ouvir com bastante carinho. Hoje em dia eu vejo o Alexander como Jesus Cristo, ele conseguiu me inspirar de um modo que sinto que esse álbum é como se fosse uma religião, podendo viajar ao seu lado mais obscuro e o seu lado mais leve...Podendo facilmente te levar a um êxtase de consciência.    … Full Review »
