History For Sale [Edited] [ECD] by Blue October (Rock) (CD, Aug-2003, Universal Records USA)

This album is excellent for fans of great music. I highly recommend it! This band is from Houston, TX and have absolutely mastered a unique sound. The songs are well written - not repetitious, mind numbing junk - and for the most part are easily identifiable if heard at random. Justin Furstenfeld has a distinctive voice and true songwriting talent. Match that with a well equipped, extremely talented band to work with, this band is destined for super-stardom. I really like the songs "Come in Closer", "Razorblade", "Ugly Side", and "Calling You". This album is alternative in nature with some great intense heavy moments. This album would cater to fans of Dave Matthews Band, Counting Crows, and early Pearl Jam.
