Rated 5 out of 5 stars
5 Star Debut for Absentstar
Sea Trials from Absentstar is solid from start to finish, with every song having the potential to be a fan favorite. The guitar riffs are hard and heavy, punctuated by Marshall Hanbury's frenetic enthusiasm. Derek Ingersoll's vocals show tremendous range, from soft pleading to forceful aggression. There are several bonafide potential alternative hits, including Half Life, Everyone You Know, and Give in To Me, but I personally find Don't Lock Me Out and Life Support to be a cut above the rest. I've seen Absentstar in person several times, and the passion and enthusiasm that they perform with is obvious on this album. This is a debut album from a group that has greatness written all over them, as evidenced by their quick ascension to a major label record deal and production by grammy-award-winning artist Dan Wilson. If you are looking for somthing familiar-yet-new, and a unique sound by a band that is true to its alternative roots, then you will be more than satisfied by Sea Trials. I love it, my wife loves it, and I see nothing but major success in this band's future.

Brilliant CD
I have been awaiting this album's release since this band got their record deal and it has been completely worth the wait. The songwriting is incredible and the band delivers the songs flawlessly. Brilliantly engineered by Dan Wilson...once again coming through with a top notch album. This album is a definite must have.

AWESOME GROUP!!!
This is an up and coming group who just released their 1st CD. I have heard them in Chicago in a few bars and now they are headed straight to the top.. You will not be sorry for buying this CD or any future ones from them.
