Disco de Dispatch: “Silent Steeples [Bonus Tracks]”

I recently bought this CD through a friend and was really blown away by the talent Dispatch, formerly One Fell Swoop, has. I am a HUGE Dave Matthew's Band fan which brought me to them. I would obviously tell everyone to get this CD and give it a listen - i'm almost positive you'd like it. They're a mix of older DMB, reggae, and ska that really gives them an excellent sound. Track 12 titled "Elias" incorporated some great Zimbabwean lyrics and tells a great story - this song made me want to learn to play the bongos... it's an incredible CD, and is followed by Bang Bang and Four Day Trials if you like this...

I got this CD from my friend on my lacrosse team and all I can say is that it is THE BEST!!! i constantly listened to "steeples" for about a month and I am still not tired of it. "Mayday" is also a great song. I love O.A.R, 311, Moe., Phish, and all of them, but these guys are probably at the top. This CD is so worth the money. It is great for studying to. Go buy it!

I can't even describe how good this cd and band are. I love all dispatch music, but this album is particulary amazing to me. As many have said this album is more acoustic than their other albums. This is a cd you can listen to from start to finish a thousand times over and never get tired of. I love all the tracks, but standouts for me were 3,4,5,10, and 12. Buy this CD, you will not regret it!!!

It's funny that I'm about to write this review as though I'm an expert on this group, because I literally heard my first Dispatch song yesterday. Even so, I was so instantly in love with their sound that since that time (less than 24 hours ago) I've downloaded two whole Dispatch CD's on my rediculously slow computer (it takes like 20 minutes per song). This CD is just amazing, you wouldn't want to miss it. Just be forwarned, if you do decide to turn off that boring radio of yours and give this a listen, you might not be able to stop. Right now for example, I have Elias and Bridges (my two favorite tracks) on a continuous loop.

Also, I've read a lot of reviews that saying that this group is a lot like Dave Matthews. I've been a die hard DMB fan for a long time, but none of these songs remind me of the group. I will say, however, that if you are a fan of DMB, Dispatch will probably appeal to you because of the really creative instrumentals and great acoustic melodies. Dispatch has awesome harmonies that you probably don't get much of with most of Dave's stuff.

Bottom line is, Dispatch is good, and Silent Steeples is incredible. Give them a chance...

I bought Bang Bang a couple months ago and I loved it. I decided to expand my horizons and buy another Dispatch CD. i decided to buy silent steepless. it is just as good as bang bang. this one is more acustic (spelling) it is so good...my favorite song EVER is #5 flying horses. it is such a good song...such a good cd. BUY IT
