These savvy young gents from Los Angeles have incorporated a variety of influences on CAMINO PALMERO for a hitbound sonic ride that will appeal to several camps of listeners. On the one hand, there's the voice of appropriately named Alex Band, which lands somewhere in between Creed-like declamation and Third Eye Blind modern pop. The rest of the band similarly pitches its approach in a free-trade zone where breakbeats, hard-edged guitars, sparkling pop melodies, and folk-rock-derived arpeggios all coexist without conflict. It doesn't hurt matters that the Calling has a knack for hook-laden songwriting, as evidenced by everything from the up-tempo opening cut "Unstoppable" to the delicate ballad "Could It Be Any Harder."

The Calling Have definitely answered their "calling" This is a great album by a very young band that should be lifted up to greatness after a few more albums like this one. Aaron Kamin and lead singer Alex Band have crafted some very good music. In addition, Alex Band is a small person with a very big voice."Wherever
You Will Go","Final Answer," And "Stigmatized are three of the best songs to come from anyone in 2002. The Calling have reaffirmed my assertion that rock n roll is still very much alive!!! Submitted by tpbjs (Snyder Texas) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo This review is for a different format.
Expected More.... The CD is average at best. "Wherever You Will Go" is by far the best song on the CD. Others that warrant recognition are, "Adrienne" and "Thank You". With the talent that they display on "Wherever You Will Go", I expected more, much more. Submitted by a reviewer (Dallas, Texas) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo This review is for a different format.
Awesome and more! From Alex Band's vocals to the melodies and music - how can a true fan of music NOT thoroughly enjoy this album! Not only are the songs sung with passion and emotion, but the instrumental aspects of the songs are amazing! Can relate to many of the songs as if one wrote them specifically for situations in my life. Great album by a young band which dissolved too soon.
