Smile Empty Soul has been through a lot through out the years. It took five years for this album to officially be released, and I don't see that as fair. Just, because they are not sell outs, doesn't mean they are not good. This is one of my favorite bands out there. Their lyrics get straight to the point. Most of their songs deal about real life situations, that's why I like them, and because they are real, and doing it for the music, and not for the money. Some of their songs are depressing, and can make you sad. This band has fought to get where they are today, and I am proud of them. I've been listening to this band since 13, and I'm 19 now, and their music has got me through some tough times in the past few years. I appreciate what they do. Vultures is my second favorite album, out of all the albums I've ever heard, because what they are saying is true. More Anxiety should of been released in 2005, and I think if it was, it would of sold half of what their first album did. Since they had problems with Lava Records for some reason it didn't. Smile Empty Soul should of been a bigger priority to the record label than they were at the time. I'm glad they have made it this far, and I can't wait until their next album.

I love SES, so I might be biased, April 7 2012

First of all, let me say that I love this band. Yes, I know their songs perhaps lean toward the negative, such as the hopelessness that can be present in a life. Perhaps I identify with then because I feel that way sometime. Maybe, in my own twisted way, to quote a line from a Smashing Pumpkins tune, "I'm in love with my sorrow". Regardless of your disposition or your outlook on life, this group of songs are almost all really, really good. Buy this fairly obscure album, you won't be disappointed. Rock on, Smile Empty Soul!

I think this is the best of their albums. Sean's lyrics and voice are great. Any of their work is fantastic. I've yet to be disappointed by these guys. And to think that they stole the show the first time I saw them when they opened for Rhe Exies.....
I look forward to many years of their work.
