Vertical Horizon-Live Stages


Oh my, this is it, Live Stages. The ultimate album, the almighty straight shot in glorifying their earlier hits. This is the live album of Vertical Horizon (so to speak) this has got to be my all time favorite Vertical Horizon album. (alongside Running On Ice) They sing the songs exactly the way you want them to sing it, without becoming too predicable. Everything is executed very well, plenty of beats to get stuck in your head and repeat, and lovably strong lyrics. Yeah I know it sounds weird, but I can't help it, I'm even listening to it as I type this review; I can't stop. Words cannot do this album justice, if you even like music at all, do yourself justice and buy this album; right now. Matt Scannell and Keith Kane both have great voices and are well worth listening to. Everything you want is actually right here, on this album.

Anyways, here's the list of songs on this album. (the ones marked with [*] are my favorite)

1. The Man Who Would Be Santa*
2. The Ride*
3. Falling Down*
4. On The Sea*
5. Japan*
6. It's Only Me*
7. Candy Man*
8. Fragments*
9. The Unchosen One*
10. Heart In Hand*
11. Wash Away*
12. The Great Divide*
