I had been witing on this album coming out for sometime,but did not think that it might be as good as their past albums.
"the distance to here" is lives' fourth album. The other three being: Secret Samadhi,Mental Jewelry and Throwing Copper.
The album starts with the best single,"the dolphins cry" This starts of as a slow ballad then all of a sudden they speed things up and launch into a rock song."The dolphins cry" is one of the best songs i have heard in a long time. This song itself is worth buying the album for.
After the first song, things slow down a bit. After you have played the album a few times you might start to tire of hearing the songs over and over again.
It seems to be one of those albums that hits you first time you hear it, then you loose interest in it, but come back to it after a few weeks.
Track listings: 1: The Dolphins Cry 2: The Distance 3: Sparkle 4: Run to the Water 5: Sun 6: Vodoo Lady 7: Where fishes go 8: Face And Ghost 9: Feel The Quiet River Rage 10: Meltdown 11: They Stood up for love.
All in all it is probably their best album.Lets hope there is more to come.

Explain all the tracks in a similar way to that in which you described 'The Dolphin's Cry' and this may get higher ratings, Best Wishes, Julie x
