Give This Album A Chance To Grow On You

[Frank Giaramita]

Days Away (www.myspace.com/daysaway) really deserves more love. The band's latest release, Mapping An Invisible World, was one of my personal favorites of 2005 and I strongly suggest you check it out if you haven't done so already.

[patpratt]

mapping is an amazing cd

[godzillany]

agreed this album is fantastic

[golly_sandra]

They're amazing. I'm seeing them in August yay.

[Steve Henderson]

I agree, Frank. It isn't loud, or flashy, or hooky - it is just solid and beautiful. As a girl posted on a site that I used to write for, it just "makes you feel infinite." As abstract as that sounds, it fits.

[(joeyman)]

haha i was just listening to "mirrors" this morning. it's such a good rainy day song.

[charbear]

I agree, This album is definatly in my top 10. I wish they would do more, because they have such potential to be great. I tell people about the cd all the time.

[LeftWideOpen]

excellent rec.

[Steve Henderson]

It's kind of strange, you know? A FBR artist with, well, "talent" and "originality" at once.

[WhnFnalySetFree]

good call. this cd is great! i love every track.

ouch, lowblow, hahahaha, does anyone know if they're working on a new cd?

[rr_thecrowing]

As far as I know, they're writing new material, but they haven't begun anything solid yet.

I really agree...these guys topped my 2005 list. Hands down, the best album of the year in my book. Keith Goodwin can never do any wrong. I'm ready for new material.

In other news, I think The Forecast's new album will take the 2006 cake for me.

[suburbn_thrills]

I love Days Away. Coolest dudes ever.

If your pic is you, you look like the chick from Laguna Beach.

aw thanks steve. i like sounding abstract... hah, which reminds me, i haven't checked up on upbeet in a while. oops.

frankie, get some sleep already.

[DroppedUrPocket]

Hey Frank, over there, is gravity getting you down?

[Steve Henderson]

aw thanks steve. i like sounding abstract... hah, which reminds me, i haven't checked up on upbeet in a while. oops.

frankie, get some sleep already.
Hey no problem...I did not expect you to see this haha.

My pic is me. What chick are you referring to?

[unwritten]

I just listened to it for the first time in a long time the other day. I still love it. It is flawless.

[SoCoSquid4]

exactly. their music took a lot of time to grow on me. i saw them live last year march when they opened for the starting line, and i was like WHAT THE HECK is this crap? but about a month later i decided i would buy their album and give it a shot. the first few times i listened to it i wasn't all that impressed, but then it started growing on me and now i love it times a million. theres just a sincerity and cleanliness about their music that i love. but yeah, everybody at least give them a chance, and listen to their stuff more then once. AMAZING live band if you know their music also.

[Steve Henderson]

My pic is me. What chick are you referring to?
Kristen.

[Blake Solomon]

A random rec but it is sooooo true. 'Mirrors and 'god and mars' and 'T. Klines Decline' are some amazing songs. I love this album and i wish these guys would make something new very very quick


now, to keep the random thoughts going: do you think a normal sized fox would be able to eat a human sized chicken?

[meeotch]

the album is pretty much flawless

will finally be seeing them in july

[HeartLikeAGun27]

They really are one of the most underrated bands ever. Have they ever had any sort of a headlining tour?

[I am Brad]

def. one of my favorites last year, def flawless

[mybreakingpoint]

i love this album

not a lot of staying power, but good when i think to put it in

[castaway]

goddamn right. this album is fantastic.

[Ambien]

I wholeheartedly agree about the album. I love seeing them play live as well because they always seem to be having so much fun, especially when Keith does some dancing.

[karly.]

def. one of my favorites last year, def flawless

I agree.

[DroppedUrPocket]

goddamn right. this album is fantastic.
You're a whore.

Yes, just yes. Since the first time i heard this band they became my favirote of all time. Days Away could honestly never come out with another album and i wouldent be mad because Mapping An Invisible World is SO PERFECTLY AMAZING that it seems impossible to make something that beautifill again. But I think these guys have the capability to do it. It sucks they dont get the love, ive seen them once live allready seeing them again next month and i cant wait, really looking forward to the new stuff. Oh, and listen to This Heat on the sound of animals fighting album, its AMAZING.

[LPMagic]

#4 of 2005 for me, just incredibly good. I really don't understand how people can pass it up, yet get really stoked about Forgive Durden and JamisonParker and [insert featured artist here].

- Jeff

[GFritz]

thats so crazy. i was listening to days away when I saw this thread.

[ace_emo]

here here that album is truly awesome, some of those songs are incredible

[andrewEP]

it was definitely in my top 10 of 2005. good call, Frankdogg.

[alexwohl29_90]

I listen to that album everyday.

So good live.

[sarah211]

I don't remember why I bought this album, but I listen to it probably every day. I'm really upset that all of their Philly shows are 21+. They should do something about that.

[Frank Giaramita]

aw thanks steve. i like sounding abstract... hah, which reminds me, i haven't checked up on upbeet in a while. oops.

frankie, get some sleep already.
:)

I just did, for like an hour!

But yes, this band is completely off the radar lately and it makes me sad because this album is so underrated. It's not catchy/FOB-type hook record so I think a lot of people wrote it off after one listen.

[carramrod2005]

i love this cd so much...one of the best by far last year!

[The Rescue]

I guess I'll have to check out this album. I've seen them live twice opening up for The Starting Line, last year and the year before, and I just could not get into them. Looking back on it, the second time they seemed so much different than the first time, but then again, my music taste has changed a ton since then as well.

[poppa Q]

Wasn't really into it last year, but upon further listens I've come to enjoy it quite a bit.

[Aileen]

Hey no problem...I did not expect you to see this haha.
i check up on ap.net every so often. i just thought this thread was funny because frank and i had just been talking about days away and then i scolded him for not sleeping then he left to get a bagel, which is his usual course of action at 8:30am after not going to sleep. frank, i'm out to expose all of your secrets.

[Shatter_Glass]

Great record! I want their EP so friggin bad! i can't find it anywhere

[FallToGlory]

i love this album

not a lot of staying power, but good when i think to put it in

to me it has a rediculous amount of staying power.
out of all the albums of 05, its the one i listen to the most still

[Ruggiero2oo8]

its is one hell of a cd.

[TING]

keith told me that they have made it their goal to finish 2 albums worth of music before the Circa tour. I can't wait to hear it! As for mapping an invisible world... i think it may have staying power because they are rippers... true musicians playing pop songs... endless possibilities and i think they're still finding their sound which is cool. have a good time with days away!

[David Wooley]

I agree they are such an amazing band I dont know why they aren't huge by now they really do desirve it.

[HeartLikeAGun27]

I wholeheartedly agree about the album. I love seeing them play live as well because they always seem to be having so much fun, especially when Keith does some dancing.

Indeed, i adore the dancing.

[CorporateFish]

great band.

[fire on my lips]

Crazy I was listenign to this CD in the car last night and again while doing erronds today.

If your a fan of Mute Math, then you will be a fan of Days Away, a tour with both of them together would be amazing.
