Struggling financially in a touring band is a really tough situation. Well...I guess that struggling financially is really just a tough situation, period. Any problems with money can make you think about the "haves and have-nots," and the crazy thing is how much excess we really have in western society. Even when we're having money problems and considering ourselves as poor, we're very wealthy compared to the rest of the planet. There are people everywhere in this world that literally have next to nothing, and most times we're content to do nothing but sing songs, attend "awareness" events, or just sit and think about how nice it would be for things to be better. Change cannot really be accomplished without action, though, and it's a responsibility that never fades away. We get one life to live, one chance to change the world around us. Time waits for no man, and time won't turn back.

lyrics
Another moment slips away, then the moments turn to days.
When every hand is turned away from
the ones who fade into the night,
away from pockets sealed so tight.
Kept out of mind and out of sight.
We refuse to face the truth that
beggars line our "streets of gold."
We're making a change.
The world is waiting.
There's blood on our hands,
and time won't turn back.
So will we ever right the wrong,
or be content to sing along?
Yeah what we do could change it all.
We refuse to face the truth that
beggars line our "streets of gold."
We're making a change.
The world is waiting.
There's blood on our hands,
and time won't turn back.
Time won't turn back.
Is our behavior the result of a distraction,
or will we choose again to let this one slide?
Their lives...to slide?
'Cause time won't turn back.
Time won't turn back.
Time won't turn back.
We're making a change.
The world is waiting.
There's blood on our hands,
and time won't turn back.

Each year the same story: My wife (handmade pop music) and I (black metal maniac) go on holiday. We need some "soft" but honest music for long car drives. It is a tough week in advance to dive deeply into musical scrap to find some pearls like THE CLASSIC CRIME! This album really rocks, sounding more British than American. The first seven songs plus the stormy "Cold Loud Dark" are catchy killers and this is an almost perfect result for an album. A fat pillar in this years's holiday soundtrack! H.L.

Oh well, Christmas is approaching... time to buy at least one Christmas album! I'm not a fan of Christmas, as it is celebrated today, nor do I like the typical cheesy Christmas music played everywhere these days. So it had to be something special. The "crash test" for this album was the version of "Silent Night", which nobody managed to get right so far. Well, with the exception of "Falling Up". Frankly, as a fan of Jessy Ribordy, I'm not surprised that much... Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)

Cuts deep and stays with you. There is an earnest honesty in the lyrics that pulls you in. If, like me, you thought this album was merely "good" when you listened to it the first time, give it a few more plays. You might just fall in love with it. Francis Berglund
