Everyone that's obviously "heard" it other places - PLEASE buy this CD - it literally is a make or break it album for the band, and record sales are extremely important.

Don't worry. I'm sold. I just want people to listen to it to begin with so it'll sell them as well, so I'm really happy you guys have this e-card up.

rrn is my favorite of the three too. new spitalfield has some really good ones but it doesnt compare. some of the new stuff can be pretty generic.

I'm happy to say I've never overlooked them and have booked them for shows and stuff. The turnouts haven't been that great despite awesome promo for the show, so I'd like to see some kids realize what they are missing by not buying these guys' records and seeing their shows
id hate to see low sales for these guys, spitalfield is nothing less than amazing. this cd is one of the best albums dropped in 2006, and its been my highly anticipated one for the year. this cd and the new rory will probably become the two underrated albums of the fall, if not the year as well...
if thats one thing that i admire about this band, is that they dont get stressed out or let sales affect (it might be effect) them, atleast it looks like that, they are there to make music, to affect their listeners lives. this cd is a step in the right direction to grab people's ears and attention like remember right now did in 2003. you will not be disappointed.

And you look at kiddie porn.
Well, they're already streaming the best two songs on the album. I think Hold On might be the best thing they've ever done. There's a couple of totally skippable tracks on it though, but I still think it's a cracking album. I've pre-ordered it Jason, don't shout at me!

I thought the first album was way better than the second but I still bought them both and im sure I will pick this one up. Hopefully Victory promotes the hell out of this one like they do some of their releases.

I think it's pretty decent. I think it'd be better as an EP. I don't think it's quite as good as Remember Right Now, and about half of the songs, maybe a little less, I wouldn't mind if they weren't there. The chorus of Novocaine is pretty nice sounding, Hold On is awesome, the last song is cool, and I thought it was neat how it tied the whole cd together. i also really like Tell me Clarice. I don't think the writing is as smart as some of their earlier stuff though, and I could see how it could get lost in the shuffle. I also noticed that I don't like any of their songs 100 percent. There is at least one part in each song that I think is fantastic, and there is at least one part that I absolutely hate, unless we're talking about dare to or secrets in mirrors. I'll still purchase this, but I expected more, especially when I heard Secrets in Mirrors on myspace.

spitalfield is one of my favorite bands of all time. and thats good considering i rank them up there with refused, the clash, and other legendary bands of the 20th century. i love this band to death and they make music thats genuine and real, and still sounds amazing at the same time. i admit i download a lot of my music but ive always bought every spitalfield release the day it comes out. this cd looks sooo good. the artwork kicks ass as well.

defintely on my top ten list this year. and since that isn't much of a compliment i will add that this cd kicks serious ass. best cover art of the year, i can't wait to see the whole pakcaging also. Personally I'm liking On the Floor a lot right now.

This album is amazing, by far one of the better albums this year. Spitalfield is such a great band. I hope you guys get a review of this up soon.

It seems that I've simply lost interest in most bands of this genre. However, that's not to say I won't check out the entire album.

I wasn't a huge fan of RRN, but I thought the other album the name of which escapes me currently was alright. I have only heard two minutes of "Secrets in Mirrors" and I am already sold on this record. This is a huge leap ahead for them.

The second album was called Stop Doing Bad Things. I think with each album they improve.

saw them twice and i was really bored. maybe i'll give them another chance..maybe.
can't wait, i've seen it floating on the web, but i'll wait for release date, and i don't think i will listen to anything more than secrets in mirrors till then, great song by the way

I'm definitely gonna get this. The SDBT kinda disappointed me but RRN is amazing. I'm pumped for this!
Album is great but the production is a little subpar in my opinion. I wish I could hear the vocals a little more clearly. Other than that very solid, I'll buy it.
Novocane is amazing.

i agree this is definately a great album but the production does sound terrible. the drums just sound so faded and drowned out compared to the Remember Right Now record. Ill still be picking this up and seeing them around Chicago

Definitely hold judgement on the production until you hear the actual record... mp3s, streams & file sharing doesn't do it any justice. i think it sounds huge.

09/11/06, 05:13 PM
I think people need to open up more to the SDBT sound. I prefer it a lot more.
This album is going to be great.

Spitalfield is awesome. Last album dropped off a little but Remember Right Now is a masterpiece.

Will do, i love this band, and have supported them for a couple years now. I have only heard one song on their myspace so far, and are about to sink my teeth into the rest of the album soon, but this will be one of those ones i pick up even though i allready have it, and there have been few this year that have struck me enough to do so (As Tall As Lions, This Day & Age).
Amazing band, i never get sick of seeing them live either.

i remember when these guys opened up for fall out boy...good show. didn't dig these guys though. acceptance was on that bill too. crazy
Awesome, I really hope this does well.

I saw these guys live in NJ when they were touring their first album. I was never much of a fan, but the three songs I just listened to on the e-card are really good. I think I'll pick the album up.
