An incredible album. As always, they do not disappoint. Was fortunate to see them live in G.R. Mich. 10/16. The are as great live as they are on cd. Love this group.

A return to their former greatness

I've followed Blue October since the early 2000s, and this album is a return to their former greatness. Their first few albums were amazing, and I consider Foiled to be their peak. The two albums released since then, while perhaps cathartic for the lead singer, were ultimately forgettable.
While I don't think Home is quite as good as Foiled, it is far closer than their recent albums. Perhaps as good as Consent to Treatment, which I see as their second best. Time will tell if the album holds up as well, but it stands a far better chance than the other recent works.

Still Blue after all this time

If you're a longtime Blue October fan, you will find songs on this release that remind you of the old Blue October you know and love. However, the band has been slowly evolving from alternative rock to down tempo pop over the last few albums, and this is one of their more pop tinged albums to date with more electronic sounds. Some fans like me will like it, but not all fans. If you are more into the rock era Blue October, this might disappoint you. Everything else is still the same though, from the poignant lyrics, to the catchy hooks, but in a new wrapper so to speak. I recommend you preview the tracks online before committing to buying the whole album. Overall, it's still Blue October.

I came into Blue October the same time as many others from their song Hate Me. and I've since collected every LP they've released and seen them 5 times live, A wonderful live band btw. And this album doesn't disappoint. I've only listened to it one time throughout and I already really like it. Definitely a great pickup for any fan or anyone looking to try something new.

I've listened to Blue October for about 20 years now and every cd shows the growth im Justin and all the members lives. This cd is no different. You can feel and experience where they are in their life while making the cd. It's a beautiful departure from their previous albums and gives a wonderful continuation of their lofe story through their music.

It's hard to figure out where I stand with this album. I'm a huge fan of Justin's, but I've noticed that his best music comes when he is depressed. I'm happy he's doing better in his life but the music has definitely taken a hit from that fact. It's still good, just not what I've grown accustomed to. Need to give it a few more spins

Blue October return and much like their last album Sway the songs on Home are calmer & more nuanced yet not without a hint of melancholy. I like the depths the band are mining lately it shows progress and maturity. If this is your first Blue October album welcome now go see them live to get the full experience.

I'd looked at 2 other stores for this album the day is wasnt released and had no luck finding it. Blue October was signing autographs the next day and I wanted to be sure I had it flr the signing. Best Buy was where I should've started my search!

This Cd is awesome. I love all Blue October music but there is a big difference in this CD and the rest. He makes great music no matter what his situation but this Cd is much softer than his others! Absolutely Love them!!

Blue October experiments with a concept album of sorts. It could be listened to as a whole story or individually separated segments. The first half is softer & acoustic, the second half is where you hear the real experimentation.

Definitely different from the previous albums released by Blue October, but not any less magical. Justin has very relatable music that is quite cathartic.

Blue October once again releases another record that inspires and doesn't fit into any mold like so many others. Entire album release was a crowdfunding project.

Blue October 7th Studio release includes one of their best single's
ever Home. If you haven't heard Blue October a little like Genesis-REM
meets Bowie. This has some great tunes check it out.

It's a real shame that Blue October gets so little airplay (at least in my part of Texas) on the radio. They sound great live and this album is an awesome example of what good music is.

Blue October is a great band, with their hears on their sleeves. This album has set a new tone but holds strong with the bands theme.

Overall, the CD as a whole is good. I feel that it is not as strong as previous efforts from them. If you are a fan of Blue October, you will be satisfied with this CD though.
