Atlantis, Oh Our Saviour

This is one of the top 2 or 3 albums I've heard on Jamendo since I joined a year ago. "Not quite Maine and not quite New Brunswick?" Indeed! More like "not quite chamber pop and not quite orchestral rock" but the best of both! Catchy, complex and poetic all in one. Instrumentally, this album is strong, rich and intricate. Vocally, impassioned screaming on some songs nearly exhausts the listener, and then gives way to a vulnerable sweetness that hardly seems possible from the same voice--a combination that powerfully expresses the universality of youthful emotion. The lyrics entice and delight the first time you listen, and continue to satisfy after multiple listens. I have no doubt this band will hit it big, and I'm really looking forward to future albums.

Excellent album! Billy Talent, Arcade Fire and Hot Hot Heat better watch their backs, there's a new badass Canadian rock band out there....!

The reason your MP3 player has a repeat button, is for bands like The Rest. It is so rare to find an album we can listen to from beginning to end, over and over again. If you are a fan of The Cure, U2, Modest Mouse, The National, My Morning Jacket, or The Killers, you'll be quite pleased with The Rest.

Joyously uplifting, entertaining, feel good, music with great vocals that do put you in mind of Bono in away with good lyrics. To give you that buzz and appealing of an energized, perfect, catchy, cool, poppy, rock, indie album. A modern twist on the Irish group U2.

Someone mentioned Grizzly Bear, I totally agree. I love this style of music and really like this band, great stuff.
