Okay, so what if my husband and I were nearly the oldest people at the concert (34 & 35 now)? This album NEVER fails to get me moving. It's fun to sing along to, do dance to, to drive to. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT

I really love this album! I bought it on cd first and it's one of my staple albums that I need close by so I decided to invest in the vinyl.  I got the yellow variant and it's really pretty.  An all around great album and definitely worth a listen.  I love each song on the album and they all stand alone as being really strong!  I'm really happy with this and it sounds great!

This is one of my favorite ablums- I never get tired of and listen to it all the time and have for years.  I can't recommend this album enough!

"Lifeboat To Nowhere" is one of the best albums I've had the pleasure to own.  I really enjoyed every single track.  My favorites are "Sleeping", "She Won", and "State Street Jam."  10 years in the making goes to show this was a labor of love for the band.  It truly is a feast for the ears!

I love this album, but no surprise there since I love just about everything Jason Mraz does. "Back to the Earth" and "Love Someone" are two of my favorite tracks. The opening number, "Rise", is a lead-in to "Love Someone", but it's so beautiful that I wish it could be at least twice as long and stand on its own. Every time I hear it, I want to listen to it on a beach or mountaintop while watching the sun rise. Should you buy thus album? It's a definite YES!

I love this album and listen to it all the time.  The solos as well as the blending of these beautiful voices just make me happy.  Of course, I am quite sure that folks watching me sing with them in the car think I am nuts.  It is a 'feel good' album and I really wish they would be on tour near enough for me to go see them in person. I bought some for gifts as well.

It has been a long time since an album has effected me the way this one has. The guitar is so fantastic combined with Knopfler's voice and subtle intonations is un-matchable. These elements plus the incredibly thoughtful and skilled songwriting skills are something I'm happily trying to convince everyone to listen to. Honestly, I've been playing it for months and I never tire of it. The images the lyrics conjure up are satisfyingly rich with sentiment and suggestion. I hesitate to buy another album for fear it will pale in comparison. I'm also excited to learn that he doesn't use a pick  and is a leftie playing right handed - which may explain why there's something familiar sounding about it to me. Coming from a classical guitar background I find his style amazingly musical and keep asking myself "how does he make that sophisticated twangy sound?"
Bravo!

I have owned this album for more than a decade, and it remains one of my favorites. I find that listening to it helps me clear my mind and improve my mood - there is a joy in the melodies that is infectious. This is very engaging music, but be warned, it can be habit-forming.

This is an amazing album and totally enjoyable. There are some great and knowledgeable reviews that go into specifics, so I'll just say, "buy it!"

I have always loved this album.  It is my favorite!  I have mixed feelings about ITM, though.  I saw them 2 years ago, and they were offal (sorry anybody who likes them) and they scared me ( was younger at the time).  I don't like any of their other albums, but this one, strangely enough, i am in love with.  Lost as Sea is a song that captivates me whenever i listen to it.  All for You, Into the Light, Violet Skies, i just love them all.  Maria Brinks has just a beautiful voice...too bad their other albums aren't good.

Me and my wife are in love with this album, even our two months baby girl feels comfortable listening to it. Music and lyrics fit perfectly. It's been a couple of years since it has been released and we didn't get bored listening to it.
I pray they will release at least one album from now on. I place this album in my top three favorite albums of all time.

This is definitely one of my favorite albums of all time.  I know I'm committing heresy here, but this album is even better than Iron Maiden.  No exaggeration.  Even the mighty "Powerslave" can't stand up to this work of art.  The music here is just absolutely perfect.  Bonecrushing heaviness balanced out with plenty of melody.  Roy and Adrian are one of the best guitar duos I've ever heard.  The music may not be quite as complex as Maiden, but the way these guys work in unison is just unbelievable.  You'd swear they were telepathically linked or something.  Then we have Bruce.  I have listened to many different forms of music in my time, and I say this with absolute confidence: This album has some of THE most unbelievable vocals you'll ever hear anywhere.  If you thought Bruce was good with Maiden, you ain't heard nothing yet.  I'm a singer myself, and I suppose I'm fairly decent at it, but man, I feel absolutely tone-deaf when I listen to this.
Picking out a favorite song is nearly impossible, but I think I'd definitely have to go with "Book of Thel".  Great riffs, great intro, great chorus, and if that's not enough, it features guitar, bass, AND drum solos!  One of the greatest songs I've ever heard, for sure.  "Jerusalem" is one of my favorite ballads of all time.  The vocals are just stunning.  If you don't get chills when Bruce sings "The king and queen will dwell in our hearts", you must be dead.  "Killing Floor" took some time to grow on me, because of the weird chorus, but now I love it just as much as the rest.  Some guy named "Frazeke MC" does backup vocals.
Anyway, this is a perfect album, one of the best metal experiences you'll ever hear.  All of Bruce's solo stuff is worth it, but this is his masterpiece by far.  Even "Accident of Birth" can't touch it.  You must buy this album.  Check out William Blake's work too.  He's a demented genius.

I recently heard this album -- over and over and over! -- while visiting my twin toddler nephews. Even after the songs were permently embedded in my brain, I still love this album. It's musically rich, it's witty, it's sweet and catchy. I highly recommend it!

This is one of my favorite albums of all time! I had this album when I was a kid, & I love it just as much now, as I did back then. The songs are nostalgic for me, but even as an adult I am appreciating them all over again. This is one of those CD's that the parents can enjoy just as much as the kids...none of those annoying character voices or babyish songs...just great folk-style music for children, that the whole family can sing along to. Fred Penner is amazing. My little girl was about 21 months old when she received this CD as a gift, & she just loved it right off the bat. She learned to sing along with the songs, almost right away, which has been beyond cute & enjoyable for all of the adults. Older kids will appreciate the story-telling in the songs. I have bought this CD many times over, to gift to friends & their children, & it is always so well received...I highly recommend it as a gift, for your kids, your friends & their kids, or maybe even as a gift to yourself! It is THAT great!

This is one of my favorite albums! Alicia Keys does an amazing job, and all of the songs (with the exception of Put it in a Love Song ft. Beyonce-which I hate) are ones that you can relax and sing to. "How it Feels to Fly" is exceptional and "Love is Blind" has so much soul! Buy this album, you won't regret it!!

Probably one of my favorite albums ~ all my favorite songs, done in a very raw, real way ~ I listen to disk 2 at least twice a day!!

This is one of my favorite Orthodox albums -- definitely worth the investment. I have listened to it countless times and never get tired of it. The chants are very calming and beautiful, all in Church Slavonic, of course.
