1- October Swimmer- Oh so good! It has some great lyrics, and a fabulous tune.

2- Undercover Angel- Very cute, sweet, etc. Nice chorus.

3- Oxygen- Emotionally moving, decadent instrumentals.

4- Willow- Enchanting and Haunting

5- Surrender- Passionate, great guitar parts.

6- Long Way South- Energetic and exciting! I can't stop singing- "Torrential high seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaas- dragged me to my knees.........." Awesome lyrics and vocals.

7- Snow- Great build up to the chorus.

8- Broken Down- Gentle and hummable

9- Improv- This has got to be my favourite one, but I don't know why.

10- Not Like You- reminds me of Undercover Angel a little.......

11- Algeria- So amazing, it really gets the adrenaline going for me!

12- Bumble Bee- a Perfect ending to the album, it does the quiet-loud thing.

Well, I hope that helps! *when in doubt, listen to clips*

I got to see them live at the gypsy tea room in Dallas, TX. It was an awesome show. After seeing them, I downloaded all of their mp3s, and I just can't get enough of their sound. Mark Greaney has a beautiful voice, and the music itself is godlike. Some refer to it as being anthem-sounding, which I feel does it duty. All of the songs are filled with passion, which, for me, is the most important thing. A great album!

I downloaded "Snow" on a whim and after the first listen I immediately left for the record store. The only other time I've ever felt that impelled to buy a record was upon my first listening of "Muscle Museum" by Muse. In fact, if there were any one band who I could point to as being rather similar to JJ72 it's Muse. Both 3-piece bands, both possessing lead singers with almost operatic range and emotion. Both bands are spellbinding, but JJ72 comes across as simpler and slightly less refined, which I think is to their benefit. So, go out and have a listen to any of their singles ("Snow" October Swimmer" "Oxygen"). If you aren't hooked after the first listen, this probably isn't the band for you.
