This is a must own CD. I first heard Blue October live in 1999 and bought this album the day it was released. I listened to it so much that I wore out the CD and have had to buy two more copies since.
Blue October is one of the best bands in existence, and Consent to Treatment is their best album in my opinion (see also The Answers and History For Sale)
Fans of Dave Matthews, Incubus, Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins, Third Eye Blind, Matchbox 20, R.E.M., The Cure, Peter Gabriel, Idaho, Nirvana, and Elliot Smith will love this CD.
Everyone I have ever introduced to Blue October's music has instantly fallen in love with it. Blue October is an outstanding rock band (think Pearl Jam, Nirvana) with an extremely charismatic and talented singer/lyricist and a ferrocious fiddle player to spice up an already delightful sound.
As good as this album is, it pales in comparison to hearing Blue October perform live. I strongly recommend buying this album, listening to it a lot, and visiting http://www.blueoctober.com to see when this wonderful band will be playing in your city.
You'll be glad you did.

The lead singer of this band is bi-polar and is on medication which makes the music he makes very understandable. However, it's also very surprising and tuneful. Songs are harsh and screams accentuate most of them and you would think that this is primetime to go to Aggro, but it doesn't exactly. The violin included in the band gives them a softer and more organic sound rather than creating a shriek that is annoying when in other bands. Halfway through the disc you feel that this is a classic sound being produced. Great stuff at times. The sound is like all of the aforementioned description, but imagine Social Distortion mixed with Distubed, mixed with a natural violin mic'd, not an electric one and you've got a sense of their sound. It's very appealing after awhile.

Justin is one of the best songwriters working these days. Every song is intensely personal, but he manages to evoke the emotions he's feeling in my every time I listen to the album. They are even better live and some of the nicest and most real people in the music industry right now. Buy this album and their most recent release, History for Sale...

Consent To Treatment and History For Sale
How lucky we are to have internet radio, that is the reason I originally heard about Blue October. Their music is different from any style I've yet to hear. Truly non-descript. Read more
