I first found The Music back in 2002...I remeber seeing them on Carson Daly and saying "they must be an amazing live show".  I goobled up what I could get, and bought the first album and then Live at Blank Canvas.  I was just amazed at their talent and how they weren't more well known here in North America.

Then I forgot about them...until a friend pointed out that a new album was coming out.  So I bought the Japenese version of Strength.  I listened one whole time and I was like"this is not the same as their first album".  I decied to give it a second listen and then I was like, "OK, I really like the second part of the album".  So i said, lets listen again, and now I say that all songs have their place.  I am amazed at their abilities.  I will always have the first album as being the highest standard but I must say that I am loving this last album.  Here are my favs:

Cold Blooded, Vision, The Price, Traps, Fire, Victim, Symbol of Hope, Strength in Numbers, Get Through It.

I just hope they come to the Montreal area soon.  Their live shows must be amazing and I hope the people that get to see them all the time don't take them for advantage!

Sometimes music has to grow on you. I think this is a good thing. Some songs may take a while to get used to, but then they don't get boring after a while, they just keep getting better and better! Hope you get to catch The Music live! They are amazing. I am told. Yep, also dying to see them live for the first time...

You won't be disappointed guys. The Music are an incredible band live and not to be missed!

Sure .  Even if the album is an excellent work, I think it doesn't show how good The Music are live.  The songs live compared with the songs on record are like the day and the night for me.

i can't wait till they get to play in the netherlands. i've never seen them live only on the dvd. even if none of my friends want to go with me i'll still go. if they get to play here i'll even go alone. i really hope they get to play here sometime. GET OVER HERE BOYS!

Hello TheMusicCanadian! Welcome to the forum!

 One question: Are you aware this is their third album? As you didn't mention if you've heard the 2nd album.
