First thing I have to say it TURN UP THE VOCALS. The vocals on this CD were really lost in the mix. This CD probably would have been so much better if the vocals could have been heard and understood. Also the overall production on this CD wasn't too great. The best way to describe their style would probably be to call it, slow, droney indie rock. Track 9, "Oceanic Eyes" was pretty cool. There is a flute in this song and it kind of takes the place of the vocals. Track 10 and 11 the vocals were a little more present, so the CD kind of gets better as the album progresses. I really could not get into this CD, although it wouldn't be a bad CD to have as background music for studying or relaxing.

Other coverage for this album
Decapolis 1999Reviewed by ConradThis band plays Sad-Alternative-Moody-Rock. The album starts off pretty good because it has two fairly upbeat songs - still sad and moody, but upbeat. There are a few of these songs on the album, and they are pretty good. Where this album suffers is in the slow songs, which accounts for about two-thirds of the album. These songs simply drag, leaving my finger dangerously close to the fast forward…Decapolis 1999Reviewed by TimThis album is decent. Good guitar work. Good melodies. After the first two songs, I thought it was going to be really good, but it went down hill. The slower stuff is kind of boring, but that may just be my personal taste. It is very creative though. A lot of people will want to buy this... I'm just not necessarily one of them. C-Similar sounding releases
