 Sucks! September 29, 2008

Jeez how many of you are on the Taproot Street Team??? Seriously, a deaf retarded gender-confused monkey with AIDS could tell you that this album blows. The only good thing about this album is "Path Less Taken". That is a good song, but the rest of the album is emo garbage. "It's Natural" is the worst Taproot song I have ever heard. And to think they recorded 50 + songs and these are the best out of all of them. I am so disappointed in this band. They had potential to be really great, but unfortunately they left their balls at the recording studio back in 2000. This is the kind of music you would expect to hear in a nursing home in Florida. I'm really hoping it will grow on me like BSR did (which is still very mediocre), but I just don't see it this time. Really, really disappointing. Great job Taproot, I'm sure the Jonas Brothers would love to have you open for them. You'd fit right in. My speakers need to be woken up, going to put in Death Magnetic.
A New Taproot September 28, 2008
When I first listened to this album, the change in styles reminded me of the same sort of transition that Linkin Park made with their latest album "Minutes to Midnight". Taproot's new album, like Linkin Park's, is a more melodic, less intense medley of songs. However, songs like "The Path Less Taken" and "Take It" demonstrate that our boys can still make some kick butt songs that are more of what we are used to as Taproot fans. On the other hand, Taproot shows signs of growth in the song "As One". This song is by far one of the catchiest songs I've ever heard. I challenge you to listen to it and not get it stuck in your head. Overall, I am pleased with this album. While it is different, it is still great. There have been some mixed reviews about this album, but listen to it with an open mind. I'm sure you will come to appreciate it as well as the new Taproot.
 Ok,but..... September 27, 2008
I'm a die hard TapRoot fan ,but this one misses the mark.I loved everything up to this point.I wish they would go back to the harder stuff,just a thought.The first song is ok.
 Major Disappointment! September 26, 2008
Lacking: A good producer and mixer! Album is scattered and recorded horribly! Have been a major fan of Taproot since the beginning and will most likely not by another one of their albums!
 Buy it! September 20, 2008

I became a huge fan of Taproot after seeing the Poem video and buying Welcome. Welcome is one of my favorite albums of all time, with Myself topping the list of my favorite songs of all time. Blue Sky Research shocked me at first but turned out to be a fantastic album once I gave it some time and really got a chance to digest it. I've listened to it almost as much as Welcome and would put it in my top 10 albums of all time.br /br /I just picked up Our Long Road Home and was, again, shocked. However, the more I listen to it the more I like it, much in the same way that Blue Sky Research won me over. I am absolutely blown away by It's Natural, a track featuring a female vocalist with Stephen. The same blown away I was when I first heard Myself, a track so different from anything I'd heard before that it became something special. The style of Stephen's vocals and the way they're mixed in this track is first rate. To be honest with you, I had goosebumps listening to it this morning driving to work when they have a duet at the end. Yes, it's THAT good. (Listening to it right now on my headphones!)br /br /Now, don't get me wrong, the album isn't perfect but it's still a fantastic album. There are things I wish Taproot would do more of (a few heavier tracks and not sounding so commercial at times) but they've matured over the years and I think they're going to appeal to a much larger crowd with this release than they did with Blue Sky Research. Selling out, not at all. Making great music that a lot of people will love, yes.br /br /Keep making great music, guys. Looking forward to seeing you on tour soon!
