I could go into depths about Saving Abel and how much they're self titled debut rocks! From the start with New Tattoo, all the way to the end with Beautiful You, this album personifies what rock and roll should be today! No matter what song is playing when you turn off your car, whether its the beautiful 18 Days, or the appropriately named Addicted all the way to Out Of My Face you will have it stuck in your head till you turn it back on! These guys have a great future ahead of them if they keep on keepin on... And I sure as hell hope they do!

Reading many of the revues already posted, I guess some are put off by the obvious copying of the Stereoside album jacket. However, I'm not sure exactly what the preferences are of those who didnt like it, but personally if every CD I manage to buy for the rest of my life ALL have a picture of a hot chick's rear end on the cover, then I would be okay with it!!! As a matter of fact, I just had a thought---How about album jackets categorized by genre? Hard Rock groups--Tight Jeans___Alt Rock groups--short shorts___Progressive Rock groups___See Through Nighties---Heavy Metal groups---String Bikinis!!!! Now there's an idea!!! I might never quit browsing through my CD's. Seriously, I imagine I have 30-40 different artists in my collection from this genre, all of whom basically sound alike. I love the sound but if you picked a song from one of the CD's at random and played it for me I probably wouldnt be able to tell you which CD or artist it came from. But this Saving Abel album quite honestly has better songs, with more advanced song structure than most of the others in my collection including Stereoside. THIS ALBUM QUITE SIMPLY HAS GOOD SONGS. If you can look past the un-original cover, I strongly suggest you check it out. I know that when I put in the file with the other 30-40 similar artists, it will stand out from the crowd!!!!

First of all ... another album with TERRIBLE, TACKY cover art. Really does not give you a good impression before you even hear a note of it.
Saving Abel is just another in the long line of formulaic arena rock bands (see also: Nickelback, Hinder, Daughtry, 3 Doors Down) that got signed because, sadly, this is the sound of the moment. Everything that you'll hear on this album, you've already heard hundreds of times before. But that's alright - bands like this will be playing the county fair circuit about 5 years from now, since they're nothing more than radio schlock also-rans. They'll have their hit single or two, go out on tour with some buffoon like Kid Rock, and vanish shortly thereafter.
This decade is going down as one of the worst for music in a long, long time. Bands like this are only reinforcing my viewpoint on this. Generic, cliched, and polished to a fault, Saving Abel are the antithesis of what rock music is really about. I would instead recommend something chock full of brash attitude like The Hives, or Radiohead who continue to put out albums that are head and shoulders beyond tripe like this.
Great first CD! May 30, 2008

This is a great CD, first song to last. Saw them live at the Beale Street Music Fest in Memphis in May, and they put on such a great show. Jared (lead singer) has an awesome voice, and great stage presence. The CD is well mixed too. If you like rock with good a chorus, you'll be pleased!
excellent!!! March 23, 2008

Saving Able is one of the best rock bands I've heard in a long time! I'm mostly a country girl, but I was blown away by this band. I can't get the songs out of my head. You will not make a mistake with this album. It's awesome!!!
