Black Lab is a sharp young San Francisco trio whose full-bodied sound suggests an understated alliance of the Wallflowers, U2 and Sonic Youth. "Wash It Away" and the heartsick "Time Ago" are two particularly solid rock songs. --Jeff Bateman

4 out of 5 stars Unique, fascinating compositions.......2007-02-20

I was happy to find this CD on amazon.com, after losing my original copy to irreparable scratches. It's definitely a unique collection of songs - I think it's brilliant but it's something I have to be in the mood to hear, and I understand that some people don't have any particular fondness for this CD. "Ten Million Years" is an amazing piece.

5 out of 5 stars truly a masterpiece.......2006-10-30

This CD is truly a masterpiece. The percussion and rhythms are incredible, the tonality and the pitch and the passion in the vocals is unbelieveable, the bass and guitar work are both impressive and unique. The variation in key and style help give this CD that always welcome change from the monotony of alot of bands and CD's. Black Lab remind me alot of Dishwalla, another incredible band. The crescendo style of the last song, which is incredible, reminds me of Live or Stage or Shinedown. I try to share this CD with as many people as I can - it is one of the all-time best!

4 out of 5 stars Grab Paul Durham's earlier stuff too!.......2006-02-14

If you like Black lab. Grab Paul Durham's earlier works from Blacklabworld.com It's the best acoustic album I've heard since...well, in a while. Pop it in your CD player and take a drive...you'll be looking at things and forming still images in your mind. It's a great album. You can go to his site and listen to 90 second clips if you're interested. Black Lab, See the sun, and PD kick!

5 out of 5 stars Top 10... Ok, Top 5.......2005-06-28

Maybe one of my top seven or eight albums ever. I love it and try to share it with everyone because the band got so ripped off in the 1990s they deserve success. Every song is magic and stands up to an entire day in my cd player.

I also just got my copy of their new album See the sun and it's just as amazing. Ive been listening to it for three days straight and already ordered more. You can only get it at their website -- www.blacklabworld.com.

Not sure what else to say other than you should get this album...
JB.

4 out of 5 stars Overall positive groove, inspired lyrics.......2004-11-13

The tracks here have enough variety to showcase the band's instrumental panache...all tied together by lead vocal/songwriter Paul Durham.
Research indicates they got the name BLACK LAB from the group's 2 favorites, BLACK sabbath and stereoLAB. Whatever, the aural technics behind the predominantly vocal driven music has hints of goth,industrial and rock atmospheres(with dark allure) swirling through. Besides U2, Sonic Youth,and Wallflower references, you can add Comsat Angels. Not a bad choice for those who desire a "discovery" for pennies on the dollar(amazon marketplace). YOUR BODY ABOVE ME clocks in at a solid 51:43 minutes.
