This is the best album so far this year. The Music Press is pretty sad if they can't realize that. Most of the people who write about music simply don't know what they are talking about. The Vines are fantastic both live and on record. They are the real thing. The first single "Ride" is definately the worst song on the album. The chorus is especially bad. But the rest of the album is really pretty special. Especially "Sun Child" and "TV Pro".… Expand

Winning Days is a great cd. Every track is great. I could listen to it forever. I has so many emotions throughout every song. The Vines are an AWESOME rock band! I think their taste is what are music society has been missing for a while and now that they've come we have music you can actually enjoy. Yay for the Vines!

When i first got this album, i knew it was special. The opening song, "Ride" is a rocking song and really sets the mood for the entire album. There is a selection of loud and brash songs, with F.T.W and Evil Town, which demonstrate the "we dont give a s**t" attitude which the band seem to possess. This is not to say however that like many rock bands they are simply writing crude words and shouting for a reaction; Craig shows real passion for his music, so much so that without it you could imagine that he would be lost. The songs Autumn Shade II and Winning Days are the true masters of this album for me. They demonstrate the harmony and solidarity of the band, and the raw emotions of the music are expressed so delicately by the simplicity of rhythm and riffs. 10 out of 10… Expand

It may not be as good as highly evolved but it certainly is not an awful album. The songs are great like 60s melodic songs which if you like the beatles its like those songs. It won't put you to sleep if you like good music.

This is maybe the best album i´ve ever heard! I can´t understand why some magazines mean that the songwriting would be to boring while they declare Vision Valley as "their best album ever"! This album contets pure emotion into diffrent extremes and i haven´t heard of another band which can describe them that perfectly as they did! Awesome!

first you have to listen to the cd. get past the overplayed singles. then understand how great the album really is. it's a concept album too, and you'll get that if you listen to it more. it's infectious. i love it.

(because the vines rock)

Don't listen to the critics, this album is a lot better than Highly Evolved. The songs show a lot more depth both musically and thematically. The Vines have been panned by the critics for releasing an album full of old songs, and it's true that they have -- this is the 2nd cd of the double album they originally wanted to release HE as. WINNING DAYS IS BRILLIANT!!

This album is an amazing psychedelic mind trip and I love it.

I give this album a 9. I absolutely love it, you can hear the Vines become their own band. They are not, and will never be, Nirvana part 2. Who cares. They're gonna be the Vines, and with albums as good as this and Highly Evolved, what more could you want? I'm already looking forward to the next album.

A maserpiece!

If there's any cd you should get it's this one. Forget all the reviews you've heard, forget all that hype and buy the cd and listen to what it is. God forbid anyone does that. I strongly believe that every cd shows a point in a band's development. "Winning Days" shows that The Vines are trying new things. If you actually LISTEN to the cd, you will notice the more experimental tracks like "TV PRO" but yet simple tracks like "Autumn Shade II" and the amazing layering on "Amnesia" - all different things, all songs of which could be a world on their own and yet, the album still retains the style that is The Vines. There's a song for everyone on here from the more poppy to the slow and psychadellic, which makes this a cd for every serious rock fan. So just do yourself a favor and forget the crap in the papers and magazines and buy this cd and really, listen to it.… Expand

It takes a few listens to get into, but dont believe those critics....ITS GREAT!

The Vines are my favorite band and this is they're best album yet!

Winning Days is The Vines best album- it has both slow, quiet and lyrical songs like Winning Days or Amnesia and fast rythemed rock songs like Ride or Animal Machine, both of them are familiar to every ear. All in all, this album presents us with 40 minutes of good music for all moods. Highly recommended.

Amazing, the vines are awsome!!

Ignore critics who on the whole are self righteous bastards. This album is the second album from a band who are just starting on their way to rocknroll glory. Judge it as a starting point! An excellent starting point!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's so awesome. Craigs voice penetrates into your mind and the melodies take you to anotherplace.

This record shows that the band is growing and the are doing it well. I love this band and every song of this cd. My favourite is Winning Days, it is melodically awesome. In fact do not care about critics and magazines that only knows about Justins, Britneys, and all that crap hip hop and R & B music that will never compare with the rock and roll albums. As a Peruvian (Southamerica) fan they really deserve more credits because of their talent :) … Expand

Absolutely brilliant, from track 1 to 11. Superb
