This album is for those who like a hint of sweetness with their edge -- Sarah's voice still sounds a little ragged, but in a wonderful "I survived last night" kind of way. The songs are melodic and as upbeat as those on "Paradise in Me" were grim. I've become a fan of the band, and highly recommend this as the first purchase for those seeking to get to know them.

Maybe its a family thing but Sarah and Gert have a natural ability to write songs together! and what results! This album is much less raw than Paradise in me. There is a certain element of Maturity. The first song I ever heard was Not an Addict which had both originality and crunch. While on holiday (isn't it always the way!)I heard Everything for Free and instanly recognised Sarah's voice. I bought the album straight away as this song completely wowed me. The video was also cool.

The album has a mixture of hard rocking anthems coupled with acoutic guitars and ballads. Believe is an unbeleivable song! As is In your room and Winners. The acoustic songs: 20,000 seconds, Quiet little place and Now is mine are all delightful. As is the power of Cocoon crash and Hide.

I thought the choice in singles could have been better but the first 2, (Believe and Everything for Free) are two of my favourite K's Choice songs.

K's Choice have indeed matured without the need to sell out like so many before. Still a fans band, we can be treated to the varied greatness to this, and in my opinion, their best album. and the artwork's pretty too!

Definitely worth the purchase, I cant really compare them to another band as they are so orginal. As are their 3 studio albums, each has a different sound and character. A sign of a great band!

Usually I listen more to punk (which I love) and faster rock. But we all have those times in which we like to kick back and just relax a little and don't feel so angry all the time (lol). This is a great cd for such times. I've been a fan of K's Choice music since their 2nd album, Paradise in Me. Their music helped me through some of those teenage troublesome moments we've all had and so they have a very special place in my life. I was lucky enough to see them perform live twice (weeeeeeeeeeeee!) and so I decided to make this review just to get a chance to praise them a bit more :D and along the way, who knows, persuade some of you to add an amazing cd to your collection. I just decided to make my review to Cocoon Crash given that its my favorite of their 4 albums.
Where should I start? This album is just everything a music lover could wish. It has your faster songs, it has your slower, more peaceful songs, every single one with amazing lyrics that have a strong meaning and appeal to you. "Everything for free" and "Hide" are perhaps the faster songs, but it's impossible to be indiferent to tracks like "Quiet little place", "20.000 seconds" and "God in my bed". I really don't know how to explain it, but this songs just reach within you and take a hold of your heart and make you feel exactly like what the song states. Sarah Bettens voice is extraordinary, the rest of the band is extremely gifted to, they're just one of the best bands I've ever heard and this is (in my opinion, of course) their best cd. So if you want to get started in K's Choice universe, why not give this cd a try? I trust you won't regret it. It's worth every dollar (and more). So get up off of that chair and go buy this!!!

There's a reason that every review on this page(except about two) has five stars. This band is amazing. From their first album to this latest one, their music amazes me. I bought their first album on an impulse buy and have been an addict ever since. I can listen to all their CDs without missing one song. In fact, I've actually bought 'Paradise in Me' three times, 'Great Subconscious Club' twice, and 'Cocoon Crash' twice. I would lose them or loan them, and be unable to go one day without listening to them. I've bought seven of their albums, yet they've only released three. I hope that says more about their amazing talent than my absent-mindedness. Hopin' they'll visit Knoxville, TN sometime soon.
