I LOVE THIS BAND.......2007-07-16

From the first instant I heard "Nemo" playing on Kansas State's Wildcat radio, I couldn't get enough of Umphrey's. Saftey in Numbers is simply the best album I've heard in a long time. Each song is original and the Jam monitor somehow does not quite fit them. It's like listening to that awesome college band that you don't remember the name of but MAN were they good and you met this girl and she was BEAUTIFUL and the beer was everywhere and EVERYONE was having a good time. Its that feeling. Free, clean, well-written, well-produced, fun, engaging, and different everytime you listen to it. The bridges flow into melody so clearly, the rhymes aren't cliched, and its enough of a Jam album to be different but not stiffled by 25 minute interludes of Phishdom. Absolutely great.

Some Good Some Not.......2007-04-17

Do 3 or 4 really good songs make a good album, not this time. I don't know if the other songs were weak or they all needed more of the same style from song to song. The Bottom Half(their newest)is much stronger.

Excellent!.......2007-03-09

I don't know why some people do not give this band more credit. WOW! This album I have been hooked to since it arrived at my door. I have just gotten back into the jamband scene recently and these guys impress me. Their live stuff I hear is even more amazing, but SIN's is definitely a work of art in the studio. Very creative riffs with very tight drumming! Some songs remind me of Yes (Words) or that progressive rock sound. I can only imagine what the album "The Bottom Half" is going to be like. I've definitely pre-ordered that.

So much more than a jam band.......2006-11-13

At a time when great music is seldom heard on commercial radio and music fans have to discover it through the Internet, live shows, and listening to public or college radio, Umphrey's McGee's Safety in Numbers is a true gem. Previously, I had only known the band as the opening act for the Dave Matthews Band's 2006 summer tour. I purchased this on a whim and was pleasantly surprised with what I heard. Although Umphrey's McGee is classified as a jam band, they offer so much more than other bands of that genre as they combine elements of jazz, metal, folk, country, and progressive rock to create a sound that is truly their own. Furthermore, the band prove to be excellent songwriters as the more immediate tracks never get dull and the more experimental songs grow on you with each listen.

Every track here is a winner. "Believe The Lie" starts out as a fast paced rocker before becoming reflective during the choruses. Despite its title, "Rocker" is very melancholy and the strings provide a lot of color. "Liquid" and "Words" are both very progressive as the former's vocals recall the Alan Parsons Project while the latter recalls late-80's Yes before becoming very dreamlike. "Nemo" is the hardest track with its staccato rhythms and wild guitar leads. "Women Wine and Song", which guests Huey Lewis on harmonica, is the most immediate track and easily the most upbeat. "Intentions Clear" remains my favorite song on the album due to its memorable hooks and the excellent interplay between the guitars and saxophone. The folky "End of the Road" is very cool and the harmonica at the end is a nice touch. "Passing" is very personal and somber while the awesome "Ocean Billy" bounces between its repetitive raging riff and its atmospheric verses. "The Weight Around" is a great acoustic track with excellent harmonies that ends the album. In closing, I'm glad that I purchased Safety in Numbers and based on the reviews I have read here on Amazon, I'm going to pick up their other albums too. Highly recommended.

Short and to the point..........2006-11-07

According to some of the reviews on this album already this should not be the first Umphrey's album you should listen to. Well I could not find any other Umphrey's album at my local music store so I gave it a chance since I have been curious about this band for a while. All I have to say about this album is it is captivating, from the opening riff on the first track to the last note played on the final song, I couldnt drag myself away from the album. I just got this three days ago and has been on repeat (along with m. wards new album). I can see where people say they sound like phish but honestly so does any other band out there in the "jam band" category, just listen to raq(their new album the vocalist sounds like he is trying to emmulate treys voice) but the same thing was also said for phish when they were at the height of their popularity, people claimed they sound like they are trying to be the dead. My point is to just give it a chance you will probably like it especially if you have heard their previous material and if you like the "jam band" type music you will probably like it as well.

Remasters Please!!.......2006-12-20

Being a long-time CTS fan, I was hoping these two albums would get the deluxe remaster treatment, but no dice. I've wanted them on cd for so long, and the price was right...so I gave in. As I suspected, this is a barebones reissue: no liner notes,partial reproducton (at best) of the lp's original artwork, no lyrics and last but not least, low volume in the mastering. Obviously this was done some time ago but there still could have been more attention given to a better finished product. It goes without saying the music is SUPERB. and SAFETY IN NUMBERS shows how great this band was, even without John Palumbo. A good remaster would have rated 5 stars, but..This will just have to do until something better comes along(IF it does).

Two of the Best Albums You Have Probably Never Heard.......2006-09-09

This CD is actually two albums in one -- "Animal Notes" and "Safety in Numbers", and is one of the best items you will find on eMusic. Download quickly or you may lose your chance.

Animal notes, the first eight songs on this double package is worth the price of admission, but I am going to focus on the final seven songs, which make up almost all of the original Safety in Numbers. More on the "almost all" in just a moment.

Safety in Numbers is CTS's finest album, and one of the best albums most people have never heard. If there were any justice in the world, these guys and Porcupine tree would be two of the most popular bands of all time, but we all know musical justice is in short supply.

I first encountered Safety in Numbers in the late 70s. A cousin had it playing on his 8-track player. After a couple of listens I had to have the album. I bought it in Vinyl; the record was scratched, so I took it back for a refund, as it was the store's only copy. I could not find another copy of the record. Fortunately I had kept a back-up on tape (with the scratch) and it became one of my favorite albums. Finally, I was able to buy this double CD a few years ago. and I had to get it as an import for about $18 or $19. I was happy to pay it.

You can hear some Beatles influence in Safety in Numbers -- particularly in "Flashlight" in the mellow interlude in about the middle of the song. This little snippet is so luscious, it could have been expanded into its own song, and it would have been a great one.

The two best tracks on Safety in Numbers may be the first and last, "Nuclear Apathy" -- the partly mellow, part hard / Prog symphony of a song that begins the album -- and the title track, a very well-produced, all stops pulled out social commentary track that I just can't get tired of. In between these masterpieces, are several more songs, each varied and able to stand on its own. Probably the most different from the rest is "A night on the Town (with Snow White)", which I might call progressive doo-wop with amazing, ironic, even humorous lyrics. Don't let my label turn you off of that song. It is a gem, and worth coming back to again and again and sharing with friends.

My one complaint is that the people who put this together did not include a short little track called (I believe) "Prelude to Safety in Numbers" , a strange and short little preview of "safety in Numbers"; this odd little piece was originally at the end of side 1 of the vinyl release. Oh well.

This is a wonderful package and worth buying and keeping and going back to again and again.

4.5 stars - Crack The Sky's reign of excellence continues.......2005-07-02

Animal Notes (1976.) Crack The Sky's second album.
Safety In Numbers (1977.) Crack The Sky's third album.

One of the most underrated classic rock groups of all time was Crack The Sky. In the seventies, progressive rock reached a pinnacle it had never reached before and would never again reach. Unfortunately, many of the bands of this era were overlooked in favor of more commercially-successful groups of a similar styling. Crack The Sky is one of these long-forgotten prog rock acts of the seventies. The band's musc has been all but forgotten, by all but a small group of music fans. In recent years, the band's material was released on CD, in the form of twofer albums! Read on for the twofer of Animal Notes and Safety In Numbers, the group's second and third albums from 1976 and 1977, respectively.

The first of the two albums featured on this release is the group's sophomore effort, 1976's Animal Notes. This is one of the band's most unfairly bashed and overlooked albums. Since the band's first album set the bar pretty high, many fans don't give the second album enough of a chance - and it's definitely a bit more of aquired taste than their first album. But anyone who gives it a chance should grow to agree that it's a great album. The opening track, We Want Mine, is a catchy rocker that fuses rock with a plethora of musical styles. It's definitely one of the band's best songs and one of the most widely-praised ones present. Next up comes Animal Skins, the most different-sounding song on the album. Here the band uses sitars and goes for a middle-eastern sound. The end result is actually quite good. It gets followed up by Wet Teenager, a straight-up rocker you'd have to be a fool not to like - even if you're not a fan of the band. The semi-ballad, Maybe I Can Fool Everybody (Tonight) comes next, and it proves to be another one of the more popular and excellent songs featured on the album. A seven-minute-plus tune, Rangers At Midnight, comes immediately thereafter. This is a piano-heavy pop rocker that beautifully epitomizes what the band stood for musically. It's definitely one of their best tunes. Next up we have the classic rocker, Virgin... No. This cool little rocker is the tale of a boy who misses the younger days in his life. Witkowski's guitar playing is top-notch as usual. In Invaders From Mars, the piano is the primary instrument. Paired up with the rest of the band's instrumentation, you've got one hell of a song on your hands. Closing things out of the band's sophomore release is Play On. Essentially, it's a melodic, Beatles-esque ballad with plenty of acoustic instrumentation. And there you have it. Animal Notes is a great album that deserves more credit than it gets.

And then we get to 1977's Safety In Numbers, the band's third album. This is where original frontman John Palumbo left the band (although he DID write plenty of the material present on the album.) Surprisingly, his departure does NOT hurt the overall quality of the band! Kicking off the third album is Nuclear Apathy, one of the greatest songs the band ever recorded. The first two minutes are slow and soft, but it explodes into a straight-up rocker right after that! As the eight-minute-plus track progresses, there are plenty of musical style changes, and this keeps things interesting all the while. We get more of the straight-up, seventies-style rock on the album with the second track, Flashlight. No Crack The Sky album would be complete without a melodic ballad, and we get one in the form of Long Nights. It's definitely one of the band's best songs of that styling. Following it is the short instrumental Prelude To Safety In Numbers (for some unknown reason, though, the twofer DOES NOT have this piece of music.) It's a very short instrumental, but in that one short minute, the band shows off their musical abilities beautifully. Lighten Up McGraw and Give Myself To You are more of the classic seventies-style rockers we know and love the band for. While the former is more of a straight-up rocker, the latter leans more toward the prog rock trend the band displayed many a time. One of my personal favorite songs on the album is the underrated gem A Night On The Town (With Snow White.) This is a melodic, poppy rocker that sticks in your head long after you're done listening to it. It should have been more popular. Closing out album number three is the title track. A lengthy acoustic and melodic masterpiece, this song makes for the perfect closing piece to the album. Once again the band served up a solid release - even without Palumbo at the helm.

It's great that the band has finally reissued their work on CD - and even better that they chose to do twofers, but there's a huge flaw with this - MANY OF THE TWOFERS ARE MISSING TRACKS. For instance, this issue is lacking the Prelude To Safety In Numbers instrumental from the Safety In Numbers album. Hopefully if the band's material is issued again someday, these flaws will be corrected.

Crack The Sky proved beautifully with their second and third albums that they were one of the most excellent rock and roll bands of the seventies. It's such a shame they got overlooked in favor of so many other bands of the day who didn't have half as much talent. If you're a fan of seventies rock, progressive rock, classic rock, or you're just the kind of music fan who likes to try listening to new things, Crack The Sky will be right up your alley. Take my advice and start with their self-titled debut, and then move onto these two albums. Their first album is the most accessible, by far. These two are almost as good, but harder to get into. Final verdict? These are highly recommended albums.

yessss.......2002-06-22

One of my favourite alltime bands! Finally, the greatest album in CD format. I have the vinyl from 20 years ago...should have replaced it 15 years ago, but couldn't find it. Get the kids to listen to this, I bet they won't go back to the one-chord wonders of today.

Superb drumming & imagination.......2004-05-13

This is a fine record. If you like the clean crisp sound of digital no-wave, this is for you. Tieghem has played with such luminaries as Laurie Anderson , Talking Heads and LOLO. It is moody drum music, with some genuinely beautiful "ballads". The programming and producing are world-class. You might as well buy it. It is hard to find though, but well worth your final finances. Get down.

........2002-12-21

Safety In Numbers is Andy Jackson from Hot Rod Circuit's pet project, and it's obvious from the first track. The album blasts right out of the gate with a sound very similar to HRC's first EP on Triple Crown - the main reason for this is because the majority of these songs were written back when Hot Rod Circuit was still called Antidote. Jackson originally intended these songs for the band, but instead set them aside for a few years. Now that they've had time to ferment, he's recruited some friends [most notable being Jake Cardwell of Reflector/The New Amsterdams] and made a band out of these "leftovers." How do they fare up?

Well, since it's the easiest comparison, they sound better than the newest Hot Rod Circuit album. The tracks have much more of a kick to them, partially due to the recording itself. It's not all glossy and perfected like their new album [and a lot of the new stuff on Vagrant]. The rough edges are all left intact on rockers like "Build and Structure," "Waiting Around," and "No Use." Speaking of "No Use," it was previously released on the band's split with Brand New, but it sounds like it's gone through a little fine tuning [and possibly a re-recording], so it sounds fresh and better than ever.

If you dig Hot Rod Circuit's older [pre-Vagrant] material, this CD is most assuredly for you. The emo-rock goodness is almost too good to contain. Sure, it's not breaking any new ground, but it's fun to listen to, and that's what everything boils down to anyways, isn't it?

Unfreaking Believable.......2002-12-07

It is amazing what 3 geniuses and a great studio will produce. I have purchased thousands of records off of Amazon.com, but have never been more satisfied. They smack you in the face from the first song and keep driving without any fallout. The secret to this band is definitly Kris Flaherty. He is the eighth wonder of the world when it comes to songwriting. Andy Jackson and Jake Cardwell (the ones who recieve all the press) made their best career move by getting this saviour. He carries this band to the highest level of success. If you have ever turned on a radio, listened to a choir, or just whistled a tune this is a must have. Buy this or be incomplete forever!!!!!!

Entertaining.......2002-09-14

After I read an article in Alt Press that said SIN sounded like Sparta, Quicksand and the deftones, I thought that this album should be intersting. So, after hearing a few samples I thought that I would pick up this album. I was quite pleased. From the opening song, which totally rocks, to the end, I was left wanting more. In my opinion, the band sounded like a harder version of Hot Rod Curcuit. Mainly sense, the lead singer/guitarist is in both bands. Since, I try to keep these short, pick up the album if you enjoy a harder version of HRC. The only reason I gave this 4 stars is that the album is just over 30 minutes long. I guess it is a way for them to make us want more.

Product Description

Safety in Numbers is the debut offering from Cartel, a band from Washington, DC. The sound ranges from the drumbeat dominated and soaring "Fleets" to the pulsing "Free" and "At Night." Influence from Doves, Elbow, and U2 come through, but Cartel is definitely cultivating their own unique sound: a sound to look out for. The EP was recorded and mixed by Jason Caddell (Dismemberment Plan).

Customer Reviews:

just a heads up; this is NOT militia's Cartel.......2005-10-15

just a quick heads up; this is NOT the same cartel that wrote and recorded "ransom EP" or "Chroma". This is a different, weird foreign group. i bought "saftey in numbers" without checking the cartel discovery first, and i wasted my money. if you're looking for material from the militia band cartel, get ransom or chroma.

Saw this band live and bought the CD..........2005-08-10

I saw this band in Washington D.C. recently at the Black Cat.

These guy certainly know how to put the gradiose song structures together, big hooks... More of an epic sound. I would agree that they have the Doves, Elbow, Interpol, U2, and even, Coldplay hints in their total sound. One band they REALLY remind is South (the British band.)

I bought this E.P. and realized the live set is much different. Hopefully these boys will put out something soon with a couple of the newer tunes. The hallmark tunes on this disc are Fleets and Polly Jean.

Love Cartel's Safety in Numbers.......2005-05-19

Great EP... I'm humming to the tune of
Fleets as I write this. Can't wait to hear more!

A promising debut..........2005-05-17

After seeing Cartel play live several times in NYC and DC, I rushed out to pick up this EP. Their live shows combine a wash of beautiful, melodic guitar noise with unique rhythms resulting in some truly amazing tunes. I love the intensity of Cartel's live performances and I was equally impressed with the quality and creativity of their work in the studio, especially considering this EP is entirely SELF-RELEASED! Cartel's sound is uniquely their own, but I would recommend "Safety in Numbers" for anyone who likes the darkly melodic sounds of Doves, Elbow, and Interpol and for anyone who supports truly independent music. This is only a taste of what Cartel has to offer; I can't wait to hear more!
