actually they're on a sub-division of Roadrunner, Chad Kroeger's label 604. Mainly because Chad used to be a huge Big Wreck fan

impressions of the cd:
1) falling to pieces: great opening track, great opening riff. does a nice job of setting the tone.
2) come again: title track, deservedly so. goes from heavy intro to melodic verses, back to heavy chorus. one of my favorties.
3) so far so good: great choice for first single, but the most uninspired track on the album in my opinion. great fit for radio, coincidentally.
4) the going rate(my fix): excellent song. great mix of acoustic guitar with the heavy stuff.
5) keep a good man down: another of my favorites. i love the way the song is set up, the bridge is my favorite part, as it seems to bring the song to a cresendo.
6) easy comes: probably the heaviest song on the disc. great fist pumping song.
7) beautiful: great name for a beautiful song. definitely the softest on the album. could see this as a single.
8) bright side: love the chorus. reminiscent of some of big wrecks work, lyrically and musically.
9) clever: one of the weaker songs on the cd. heavy though.
10) found another way: love this song. ians voice gets really high towars the end yelling "i've found another wayyyyyyyyy"
11) all comes out in the wash: awesome song. love the melodies in this tune. definitely one of the more eclectic tunes on the disc.
12) the lies that i believe. BEST SONG ON THE DISC. closes it out perfectly! we get a little bit of everything here. and closes out with an AWESOME slash-esque guitar solo!

DO NOT hesitate to pick this cd up. I've listened to it so much and it feels new everytime. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

From Thornley mailing.

First of all, thanks to all of you who have been supporting Thornley
through the last few months. The record is done and we have been
touring with a lof of very cool bands, seeing great places and it looks like
the trip is just beginning.
We just confirmed an appearance on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno for
this Friday, May 7th. The new record "Come Again" is hitting stores on
May 11th. We have a few days off after Leno and then we head out
across Canada and back into the States. It seems like the touring will be
endless and hope that you will get a chance to come out and see what we
are up to sometime soon.

I feel love, I feel a power. It comes to me in the darkest hour. And I want to feel it again

i wish i could get prices like, Brandon is big enough for some cd store competition but for some reason we have NONE. We have 3 Cd Plus's and thats it, we used to have diffrent stores but they either went under or got bought up. So now other then Wal-mart they have a total monopoly and with seriousness with charge me $20 for that same cd. Wal-mart semms to be in on it with them too!

can't you order on line. I know Best Buy, Circuit City, Future Shop, HMV, Tower are on line. We can do on line here. Only thing is Future Shop only ships in Canada. If you want I will pick it up for you and you can send me the money. but it may end up being the same as if you bought it where you are cause it will cost about $8.00 for CD and $2-$5(depending if priority or not) to ship. This is all in US. Let me know.

but check out on -line first.
