Them VS. You VS. Me by Finger Eleven Wind-Up Records

Product Description: Finger Eleven's career shifted suddenly and significantly when their 2003 emo-hit "One Thing" turned the band's career on its axis. At that point, they went from being known as 'the boys from Burlington who used to call themselves the Rainbow Butt Monkeys' to a group whose anthemic slow rock song went Platinum in Canada and Gold in America. So how does a band respond after its widespread fame is the result of just one song? In the case of Them Vs. You Vs. Me, Finger Eleven have consciously stayed away from anything remotely resembling their past and put the focus on the straight-ahead alt-rock formula that they've consistently excelled at. There are certain old-school rock influences that bleed clearly through their music, from Rush-isms in the form of frenetic time changes ("Sense of a Spark") to "Talking to the Walls" and "Lost My Way" which evoke Peter Gabriel-era Genesis. Frontman Scott Anderson's voice is impressive throughout, but when he sings ballads, especially "Window Song" and "Easy Life," something enables him to appeal to a whole different audience than traditional alt-rock fans. There is no 'one thing' on this disc that will allow them to reach the heights of their self-titled CD, just a consistency that will provide longtime fans reason to appreciate the band even more. --Denise Sheppard

Customer Reviews

5 stars Amazing CD
Great CD. The group does not get enough credit or publicity. One of my new favorites!

5 stars This One is Just Right
I am really enjoying this CD. Finger 11 really hits the mark for me in this CD. I like several cuts from the record already. Of course, just like everyone else, I love Paralyzer.

5 stars Odd, I agree with reviewer Anthony on the Fozzy CD
Fozzy's new CD All That Remains Reloaded is really good as Anthony mentioned. However, I also think that Finger Eleven is completely underated. Strong groove that flows with the vocals....they finally got it right, in my opinion.

5 stars Extraordinary!
Don't ya hate when you have to listen to a new album a dozen times before you can tell the songs apart? You won't have that problem here. There is a variety of musical moods on this album that is sure to please. This album projects Finger Eleven to the front of the line, sure to introduce them to a greater audience, and make them a household name. By far the best album I've heard in a long while.

2 stars Fozzy's new CD destroys this.....similar vibe but way better songs
Fozzy's new CD All That Remains Reloaded was similar in approach vocally, yet Jericho believe it or not is a far more interesting singer and has better melody. Fozzy is heavier than Finger Eleven, but yet it's much easier to find yourself singing along to Fozzy. Check out the Fozzy CD and do yourself a favor.........
