Foiled [ECD] by Blue October (CD, Apr-2006, Universal Distribution)

I've read the other reviews people wrote, and it really is amazing how much I feel the exact same way so many others do about this band. I can't stop listening to them. If I'm home, their playing, in the car, at the gym on my headphones, I'm humming them the rest of the time.
They are amazing. The songs just imbed into your mind, and you love them more and more every single time you hear them. You keep thinking you'll get tired of listening to the cd, but you never do. I actually crave it.
If I could marry this band, I would. All I can really say is- GO BUY THIS CD.
I am only grateful that I didnt let another album go by without finally discovering them. They have 4 others out there- so buy those too!

Should be next singles:
X Amount of Words
Sound of Pulling Heaven Down
18th Floor Balcony

Don't get me wrong, I love all the songs equally, but these seem to be the catchiest for airplay.

Blue October's fourth major album "Foiled" is an exceptional alternative record.Foiled's 13 tracks consist of brutally honest lyrics, great emotion and excellent instrumentals from beginning to end.My favorite tracks would have to be "Into the Ocean", "Hate Me", "Congratulations [Feat. Imogen Heap]" and "18th Floor Balcony" still, every track on the album is great in it's own way.It's a great record from an exceptional band.I highly recommend this album and this band to anyone who is a fan of maybe Coldplay or Pink Floyd.It's awesome!

I bought this as well as concert tickets to their show after seeing the band on the Tonight Show, and subsequently hearing Justin interviewed on our local Rock Station. I expected the album to possibly be too hard, but he was such a well spoken, down to earth and artistic sounding guy that I just had to check it out.

It is beyond fantastic. There are so many good songs that I just keep thinking, what will hit the radio next. The melodies are solid, the lyrics--although often sad and conveying breaths of self doubt and loathing--ultimately embrace hanging on and surviving through artistic expression and conquering our own demons. And, seeing simple things beautifully, like how you feel after the first time with someone.

I Love Hate Me: I know it gets a lot of airplay, but still love it. Appreciate the fact that a song with a title about hate is ultimately aone about the most true love that exists, that of a mother to her child.

Little things: Justin's voice has an ache to it that is both beautiful and strong, despite the frequent expression of anguish. The violin: just love the way it synthesizes the musics and the vocals with a fluency and softness in juxtaposition to the sometimes harsh and sorrowful lyrics.

And, mostly, the band is just damn good. I must check out the previous albums.

Just want to send this to all my friends and say BUY THIS!

This CD is like a narcotic. Watch out you will get hooked!!!-I first heard HATE ME on the local alternative radio station in Cincy and the song crushed me.It has been years since a single song prompted me to action. I am seeking out BLUE OCTOBER'S other albums and I plan to see them live in Cincy this July--If you have ever been in love, had your heart broken, suffered from addiction of any type, BEEN IN THE BEGINNING, MIDDLE OR LATE STAGES OF MENTAL ILLNESS -this album will speak to you. Don't take my word for it-BUY IT !!! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

I recently bought the CD Foiled for the Last Time by Blue October and was surprised to find that I liked each and every song on the CD and not just the two most popular songs, "Hate Me" and "Into the Ocean". The songs on the CD came with a different outlook on life and general and definately would give hope to those who suffer from mental illnesses such as depression, bipolar, etc. The sound of their music and words are unique and different from other band out there. They have their own style. I would definately recomend this CD to anyone looking for a unique style of music to listen to.
