I saw Mark Joseph in concert in London in 2005. He was the opening act for UK band Ocean Colour Scene. I had flown from the US for the show, and wasn't very interested in the opener. As soon as Mark took the stage and started the first song, I was hooked! I went to Oxford St. the next day and bought this cd. Every song on it is amazing. Great melodies, hooks, and lyrics that stay in your head for days after! Do yourself a favor and buy this cd now. Worth the price of an import. Fans of great music ... Read More

Just received my copy of "Scream" in the mail today, and save for the fact that the "extra tracks" label was misleading (I have no extra tracks!), the album is an aural treat.

I first heard Mark Joseph when his song "Fly" was featured on an episode of Smallville.

"Scream" contains mostly mellow acoustic-type songs that are very catchy. It's hard to pinpoint exactly what his "sound" is, but there are definite Beatles and ... Read More

I think this is a great CD. Some of the songs get a little old after a while, and a few are a little too punk- rockish and harsh. My favorite best songs are FLY and BRINGING BACK THOSE MEMORIES. I think Mark Joseph is great, especially since he writes his own music, even though he's not that well known. I would definetly recommend this CD!
