Album Review

Some of you might beware of  Sleeping At Last's major label debut
"Ghosts." Unfortunately they have since been released from
Interscope Records. They have never had a problem with coming
up with well crafted songs. These guys have a lot of talent.
Capture demonstrates that statement over and over. A very rough
around the edges kind of release. On some levels it's near epic.
The killer riffs are there. Awesome arrangements linger through
out. Ryan O'Neal's lyrics too often hit home. With all that being
said this multi-layered release seems to go unnoticed.

The grinding guitars and swirling bass so often hit the spot.
Sure the song writing isn't as good as what is featured on "Ghosts."
Yet I find myself looking to this disc more often. This may be a rough
around the edges kind of disc. But I just love the hard driving songs.
This one is much harder then it's follow up "Ghosts."

"A Million Charming Words" is such a great song it starts out simple
with great heart felt lyrics and then eases into a hard charging in
your face guitar fest. Then it slips back into a almost heart felt ballad,
what genies. Given the poetic lyrics the heart felt guitars and general
just good song writing. You should really check this one out. Sure it's
out of print but you can download it from their website.
