    I just got this album ...but after one listen it sounds pretty good. Some very strong singles on this, notably Gravity (the song from which I first heard this band and co-written by Coldplay's Chris Martin) Ashes, and Glorious Day.

    Soup S is an idiot - how can Embrace be a Coldplay knock-off when they came before Coldplay did? And their only song on here that sounds anything like Coldplay, Gravity, was written by Chris Martin - Of Coldplay!!! This album is very decent and there is no way you can justify giving it a bad mark on the basis that it sounds like other bands, because Embrace came before most of those other bands.

    This cd is so fabulous! It puts a smile on my face, no matter what kind of mood I am in (pouty, poopy).and by the way, yesterday at the Boyz Cellar, they played this whole CD. I must have drank 5 Zima's i was so excited :)

    Very much in the same vein as Coldplay ... but not exactly a complete knockoff. There are some very good single potentials on this album with effective melodies and hooks. The one weak point is the fairly simplistic lyrics. Worth a listen atleast.

  1. A pompous, painfully tacky string of infomercial rock.
  2. Out of Nothing is a truly exceptional album.
  3. [Their] apathy really detracts from the heartfelt nature of the music, which, produced by the anthemic hand of Youth, is mostly of the passionate, chest-thumping variety.
