That was a very wise decision on my part. At first, I didn't really like it. None of the songs really stood out like they did on Builing a Better Me, so i set the CD aside for a little while. But after I listened to it again, all the way through, I realized that I loved it.

This CD has a harder sound to it than their past couple of albums, and it also has a more powerful message. These songs leave you wanting more, and make good use of the REPEAT button on your CD player. If you liked the vocals from the past couple of albums, with their kind of aggressive sound to them, then you will love these vocals, which are in my opinion even stronger and better. Many of the songs have great messages, but it is never preachy. The songs make you think.

This CD is definitely different from the others. You might not be able to tell right away, but after a few listenings, it becomes obvious. They try some different beats on it, and I think that they did a good job of it.

Almost all of the songs are good on here, a bunch of them really stand out. The songs I really love are Conscience in a Cave, Faith, What Matters, Trailer Full of Tragedies, the list goes on. Conscience in a Cave is the kind of song where I can just press repeat and listen to it over and over again. I like everything about that song, just the overall sound. Trailer Full of Tragedies has a unique sound to it. The message on What Matters is really great. Last of the Lost is another repeatable song. It's great.

Don't just take my word on this CD. Everyone likes different songs, and I didn't even mention all of the songs that I like, because that would be mentioning the whole CD. I warn you, don't judge this CD from the clips on this website. They don't show you what the song really sounds like, they don't give you the full affect of the song. If you like Dogwood or any punk music, get this CD. It is unique, without losing the stuff about Dogwood that makes them good. It has great vocals, instrumentals, and message. This CD is a must have.

I really was'nt shure if i should buy this because after hearing the matt aragon cd i wasn't impressed. Building a better me is definitely thier best cd. I was sad to hear that shawn, jason,and russel have all left. In my opinion dogwood will never be as good. Building a better me in my ipinion is still their best cd. They really changed their sound on this cd but it has a lot of good songs once you get use to them. Overal a great cd, but might take some getting use to for long time fans.

I have been a die hard dogwood fans since their roots began and cannot wait when a new album is released because they never fail to amaze me. Each dogwood album is great and is unique from the last. Im glad SEISMIC has a greater punk sound than the previous two albums. to see how great this band is download Conscience in a CAve and Absolution from mp3.com then you will know that you need to buy this album because it is awesome. thank you dogwood for never disappointing me with a bad album because everything is great. god bless
