Fans waited three long years for California rock quintet Saosin to follow up their smash self-titled debut. There was the bizarre gap-filler COME CLOSE in 2008, a collection of live tracks from their debut and acoustic demos of some of the same songs. At 13 tracks clocking in at nearly an hour in length, IN SEARCH OF SOLID GROUND is the true successor to SAOSIN. The band has learned how to be comfortable in a recording studio, even though there are no less than four producers here. Musically, Saosin are still a post-hardcore band, though they've expanded their rock palette considerably. The songs structures have shifted, changed shape, and are crafted more carefully. IN SEARCH OF SOLID GROUND, as the title suggests, is exactly what this album strives for. But it's also chock-full of immediacy, energy, honesty, and naked emotion, with enough sheer rock & roll power to carry over the old fans, and win loads of new ones.
Editorial Reviews 3.5 stars out of 5 -- Because of the band's talent, they're able to deliver all of these artistic excursions admirably... Alternative Press
