Nice!  Well worth the few bucks for this band. Couldn't have gotten a nicer one for much more at a Dept store. What a bargain. :)

So I was thrown a little when I first listened to these guys because the music is a twist of heavier rock and almost straight up pop and it comes at you suddenly, but it is so well done. This band is very tight musically and I found that I started really like the mix of aggressive vocals (more of the style of music that I am into) and the melodic hooks that bring it back around. These guys have become my new favorite band, I only wish there were more songs available.

TH is an excellent band, the songs sound like the studio version but not in a boring way, they change things up a bit. Worth listening to.

Beautiful and well-built band. Love the tool that came with it. What a nice bonus. Well worth the money. BE AWARE, however, this is not a "finely woven" mesh, like some other bands. But, I like this style.

This band rocks! I found them on ITunes and have downloaded all of their albums here on Amazon. Give them a chance. They have a new album out. You can download it off of their site and get one song free. [...]

Great band on the album, great band in concert.  Just put in the disk and play it, there isn't a bad song in the bunch.

I've had this band for at least 2 yrs and just got around to writing a review.. Holds up well!  I bought it for my iPod shuffle. It's a good fit.

This is a good band for me; I wore through the narrow leather keepers on some old bands and don't really like the extra metal pieces on the standard "NATO" strap. The wide nylon keeper on this style will take a lot to wear through. The material seems pretty serviceable, not too thick but flexible. If you have not worn this type of strap before, keep in mind that the strap goes under the back of your watch and so is in constant contact with your wrist and will pick up more "skin dirt." I just thrown mine in with the laundry every week or two, works fine.

One thing to note: In one of the product photos it shows the band along with a tool and spring bars, but they are not included. Just the band in a box.

Great band for the price! I had to remove a good amount of the links to get it to fit properly but other than that, its great. No pinching, pulling or binding.

Overall it is a nice band.

1. Quality: Not super heavy, but does appear to have quality construction and parts. It does NOT have a cheap feel at all.

2. Fit/Feel:
 - It is comfortable to wear, does not pinch, and has a good feel on my wrist.
 - Unlike some watches that have a clasp with multiple adjustments, this one only has a very limited adjustable clasp. So, once you have removed the correct number of links to fit your wrist, you have only one, small, optional-sizing adjustment that you can use. It provides a very slight, perhaps 1/4" adjustment to fine-tune the fit. I have not needed to use it and the number of links and good design make it quite natural on the wrist.
- The clasp is strong but easy to open by pressing in on two spring-loaded "pinch pins"/buttons.

3. Price: I think it is about $9 too expensive, but I bought it anyway. (It would be five stars at $30.95!) But it delivers what was advertised.

4. Recommendation:  Yes, I would recommend it for anyone whose watch is suitable! (Read the other comments about straight backed watches and curved watches, before buying. . .

5. Use:  I bought it as an alternative band for my Samsung Gear 2 Neo (22cm) and it fits perfectly. (I'd post a picture, but Amazon does not do that anymore.  You can find some pictures on XDA website for the Gear Neo Q&A Section post for watchbands.)

In answer to another reviewer, the tracks here are re-recorded versions of those on the LWOA EP and more recent. The band were aiming for a more 'live' feel, I think, and after a few listens I reckon it works well. You're getting three more songs than we are in the UK (Howling at the Moon, The Great Unknown and Here Comes the Suffering), which is why I've ordered from Amazon US.

Short review: fantastic stuff, and well worth importing.

Longer review: the biggest draw of The Crimea for me is Davey's lyrics -- acerbic, witty and pragmatic words set to cheerful indie pop. The most poppy songs here are Girl Just Died (a wonderful guitar-driven tune) and Lottery Winners On Acid, although tracks such as White Russian Galaxy, Baby Boom, Miserabilist Tango and the Beach Boys inspired Bad Vibrations also bounce and glide along smoothly.

It's the recently-written numbers such as Losing My Hair and Gazillions of Miniature Violins that are a particular draw for fans who've been following the band for a few years, though. They stand as evidence that the band have plenty more to give after this album.

One last thing... at the time of writing, the album hasn't been given a label-promoted release (that's due in 2006) so the copy I got from a Marketplace seller is a promotional copy in a card sleeve. If you absolutely can't live without a jewel case, check with the retailer before you order.

You certainly won't be disappointed with the music, though!

Nice too see some of the older bands putting out some quality music. This is on par with their classics. Very good!!
