Disco de The Airborne Toxic Event: “All At Once”

The Airborne Toxic Event produces an excellent follow-up to their self-titled previous effort. They explore many of the themes they explored in their last CD, but much more emotionally and deeper. The music also reflects this and has less of the jumpy/peppy feel and guitar riffs that represented their last effort. The band goes deeper most incredibly though, especially in highlighting the changing nature of life and many of these changes that one must deal with in youth and love. The lyrics don't necessarily go into deep metaphors or contain hard-to-dig-out meanings, but this is to their credit. Effortlessly and simply grand feeling is brought out with infinitely accessible words and magically rising and falling music which is an excellent mix of sounds and instruments. The band does go fairly deeply into political statements in this CD with some pieces, but the songs are good and do not overpower the overall broad scope of the album.

The overall gem of this album I would definitely consider to be All I Ever Wanted. Filled with such determination, love, and realism. Other incredibly notables are Changing and Numb.

It's an incredibly well put together album with excellent songs and that I'd recommend to both fans and newbies alike. You will definitely feel something listening to this work.

I fell in love with TATE before they were big stars. This new album has rightfully flung them to center stage. I love the epic anthems All at Once and All I Ever Wanted. The rest of the album is a mix of catchy, fun radio pop and beautiful ballads.

I showed their first self titled cd so much love; I never thought it possible that this second album could rival it. I have been playing it none stop since I got it and love it more than their first album if that is even possible. The music itself is amazing the way all of the members blend together for something that touches your soul. Thoughtful lyrics by a masterful writer. I can not say enough about how much I love this band!!!! Most enjoyable at max volume!

Been waiting for years for the new album and it doesn't disappoint! Best band of the last 5 years without a doubt.

If you haven't heard Airborne Toxic Event, you've been living under a rock or something. They are quite talented, and this CD is AWESOME!!! After all this time, I still cannot stop listening to this CD. Buy it!
