While this Los Angeles quintet doesn't blaze any new trails, they have revived the power ballad to give it their own emotionally charged spin. And if that weren't enough, they inject so many inspirational messages into the 11 songs on their debut that one could almost mistake them for a contemporary Christian band. Musically, this band stands proudly next to such earnest forebears as Creed, matchbox twenty, and Lifehouse. The latter makes sense given that Calling guitarist Sean Woolstenhulme's brother, Rick, is Lifehouse's drummer. With their brooding, contemplative lyrics about love, loss, rejection, and revenge, the Calling embark on an anxious journey into the state of modern relationships. And while they don't offer any conclusions, they certainly provide an interesting mirror on an apprehensive time. Along with their sturdy musicianship and rhythmically driven melodies, this band very likely will enjoy a longer shelf life than most of their contemporaries. --Jaan Uhelszki

I'll admit getting this for one song:" Where ever you will go" But there a many great songs on this album. A really good group of musicians!

This CD is excellent. I have owned it since the group first came out in '01. It can easily be listened to by anyone. Take me for example. I listen to Metallica, Iced Earth, etc.. The soothing music and passionate vocals really can bring you up from a bad day. I would highly recommend this album to anyone and everyone.

I was quite impressed with this album.
I heard a song called Unstoppable and just fell in love with it. That song alone made me want this album. And thankfully, I wasn't dissapointed with it.
The best way to describe these guys is that they sound alot like Matchbox 20. Most of their songs aren't quit as revved up as Matchbox 20, but they still song very good.
And almost every song good. There were 1 or 2 that i wasn't to big on, but for the whole album, i would ... Read More

The Calling can be one of the worst bands to come from America in the last decade. Their lyrics are so poppish and cheesey and their tunes are not even worth a penny. It's funny how they keep playing the same rythem in a way over and over and over again, and people can't even see that!
I suggest all you people who consider this a great 'rock' album (what an insult to rock) to get off the couch watching Mtv and eating corn chips and get great albums from bands like Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, ... Read More
