This whole CD is worth it for that song alone, Even Now. Vertical Horizon has been around for so long, yet they had undergone many changes throughout their record history. They moved around record labels, went on hiatus, and re-released their 2003 album, "Go." Finally, after much waiting, Vertical Horizon delivers their new catalog of music, and I have to say...this was worth the wait.
Of course knowing me, I'm a Vertical Horizon nut, so let's cut down to what most everyone else knows about them. I'm sure everyone here remembers their hit song, "Everything You Want" well, closing off with a song like "Even Now" I feel like they've matured in their music very much.
Neil Peart from Rush plays the drums on "Save Me From Myself" "Welcome To The Bottom" and "Even Now." Matt and Neil are actually good friends with one another; they also collaborated on the writing of Even Now. I feel it's too soon to be writing a review without letting the music really sink in as I usually do, but really there are a lot of good songs to pick up on here.
The opening "All Is Said And Done" is a nice start for their return; the very sound of it gives hint to me that they are very much still alive and around. It feels great. Then their next song, The Lucky One once again reassures their return with a great piano medley and a wonderful chorus. It's a little hard to comment on just how everyone is going to take this seeing as it just came out, but if anyone is a fan of Vertical Horizon or simply likes their previous work, I'm sure you'll enjoy this.
