Stumbled on to these guys through a friend of mine and couldn't be happier. Great release show at Gypsy. Probably one of the best I've been to in a good while. Got the album there and it hasn't come out of my rotation yet. Great lyrics and individualy unique tracks. These guys are genuinely gifted musicians and translate is a must have album. Keep on keepin on and Pete is the man.

I totally disagree with Kyle (see his review 5/17/05). Translate is outstanding. Uneasy was an incredible album...one that would be hard to match. I think they have done it. The band continues to improve...incredible lyrics...great music. Great energy, very versatile. Gimmee a "hell yeah" and buy the damn thing!

This album might possibly have received 1 or 1.5 stars if it wasn't for "Blue Side". That song by itself brings it to 2.5 or 3 stars. Overall I think the album is weak and confusing. It is totally different from their last album "Uneasy". "Uneasy is probably one of the best albums I have perchased in the last few years, but this new album minus "Blue Side" is a damn shame. I know its normal for a band to drift to rock, but it usually takes a few records to make that transformation. This album really let me down, I was hopeing for something as great as "Uneasy" but what I got was far from it. I'm keeping it only for "blue Side" and I'm hopeing so-so songs like "wrong way around" and "patchwork alibis" grows on me. Until then I'll be listening to "Uneasy".

A truly amazing album for so many reasons! From start to finish, every song on it has a unique sound. If you put this in your shopping cart, you won't be disappointed!

Hey guys - the new cd is awesome...you guys are really rockin' - keep up the great work and come back to Houston soon!! :)

This is a superb album. You would be cheating yourself along with your friends and family riding in your car to not have "Translate" in the CD player.

Macon Greyson is superb. Their music stays with you forever in a day. As soon as I saw them perform at the Gypsy Tea Room in Dallas I bought their new CD "Translate". The lyrics to thier songs alone are enough to make you want to listen to them again and again, on top of thier new sound which makes me want to see them live again and again. What you get on the CD is what you get in person! How can you not enjoy that?

If I could give it more stars, I would. This album is AWESOME!! I can't stop listening to it. Buy this album and you won't regret it...I promise

I LUVed "Translate" Translate is a perfect mix of music that one minute has you trying to resist the urge to dance in the driver's seat and the next minute contemplating the meaning of life and love. If I had to say which song was my favorite, I would have to say all of them. As you listen to the CD each song becomes your new favorite, it would be impossible to pick just one. I do not see how anybody could listen to "Translate" and not hear something they like or can relate to. Buddy obviously has an amazing talent for writing intelligent lyrics, never dumbing it down and always writing in a way that causes you to have to translate what the song means to you. What an incredibly talented group of guys, always putting on an entertaining and energetic show, whether there are three or three hundred. There is an obvious camaraderie that comes through when these four play together. Often times you go to hear someone play and you are disappointed because the musicians were unable to convey the same energy on the CD as you would get from going to see them live. Not the case with Macon Greyson. I think what's most enjoyable about the CD is that what you hear at a Macon Greyson show is the same thing you will hear when you listen to their CD.

First 2 records were great, but Translate is one of the best CD's I have ever heard. From front to back it is one great song after another. But, if you haven't seen Macon live, you are only getting half the experience because they are the best live band around these days, go see them. Great music, great show, even better people.
