Disco de Dispatch: “Who Are We Living For?”

The CD is great -- it has masterfully intertwined lyrical songs and instrumentals. I would stray from it if all the Dispatch you have heard is The General or Elias; you know, more of their acoustic genre. Some great tracks, including Carry You, Open Up, Headlights, and Mission are on this one. It takes a few times through the album before you really catch on, but before long I promise that you will be humming along or drumming your fingers to the beat.

This CD is simply amazing. It captures every other album and puts it into one. I recently saw Dispatch in concert, and seeing them live gave me a whole new perspective on their music. This CD combines their crazy concerts with unbelievable lyrics and funky folk rock music. "Open Up" and "Time Served" are both really great songs. "Prince of Spades" is so cool, and is just a song to think about. I could name everyone track on this album and tell you why it's worth listening to, but I won't. THIS CD is worth the money! Dispatch rocks.

For some reason, people do not view this as an essential Dispatch recording. This may be because of its evolved sounds, or simply because there is something a little different, but i can assure you that it is an amazing cd and that it is a great addition to any Dispatch fan. Once you weed through all of the instrumentals and jams that are present on this cd, some great dispatch songs emerge, ones that will yeild repeated listenes, and even enter some top fives.

Hidden away on this cd are the great tracks:

Open Up

Time Served

Lightning

Prince of Spades

Headlights

Gone(My favorite Dispatch Song)

Although this cd is not primarily acoustic like the previous two, this cd provides listen to the direction the band may have taken if they had stayed together longer. There is so much raw energy here, and is something no dispatch fan should miss out on. If you are just starting out, try Bang Bang as your introduction to Dispatch

This happens to be the record that each of the band members wanted to make ever since they were youngsters, by their own words. This band gives you such a look into their lives through their dvds that you feel like you know them. They are the kind of band that comes along once in a lifetime, and I'm glad I found them. This cd is superb from start to finish and I like that they covered a song from Rage Against The Machine, on this one and did it better than the original. I can't believe how awesome these guys are in EVERY cd/dvd that they did. As far as I know they are the only ones who have given 100% of their proceeds to their favorite charities from some shows, and will do so again in july at their Madison Square Garden shows. There is just magic when these guys get together. As they each have their own solo bands now, Dispatch remains one of the best bands I EVER heard, and I am among those who wish they would get back together again. If you can get to the Garden this summer, be sure to, as this show will be, the be all and end all of all of their shows, as they have sold out the Garden in a few hours for 3 shows in a row this summer. They also gave a FREE concert in Mass. and 110,000 people came. People just love this band , and I among them. I can't praise them highly enough. Leave this one in the player also!

Dispatch is my favorite band, and i love all their albums and all their live stuff. Each album has it's own major sound, they progressed through the years. I personally think they got way better. I love the old acoustic stuff from silent steeples, and those songs are constantly playing on my ipod and cd player, and bang bang as well im in love with, but i think who are we living for just shows the true growth and development of their music. I love all the tracks on this album, there's nothing i skip, as i do with other albums at times.
