One of the better tracks from the album. Huzzah! For those of you who are hunting for a cheap copy, this one is available for download from eMusic, which comes out to about ten bucks. Support your RP indie artists!

Never understood what "quite likeable" actually means from a psychological point of view.

Maybe you need to look at it from a different perspective.  Maybe THEN you will understand!

Liked this one very much. Some rock music is just better without lyrics. Too bad not everyone feels the same way.

I was going to buy this and got "Far From Refuge" by mistake. It's excellent. 6 for this song so far.

Amazing segue from Sheila Chandra to God is an Astronaut; I thought it was the same song initially. Only one RP will you find these kinds of transitions.

I'd call it mostly bearable, but I've given it a 7 as that's the closest.
