Finger Eleven's career shifted suddenly and significantly when their 2003 emo-hit "One Thing" turned the band's career on its axis. At that point, they went from being known as 'the boys from Burlington who used to call themselves the Rainbow Butt Monkeys' to a group whose anthemic slow rock song went Platinum in Canada and Gold in America. So how does a band respond after its widespread fame is the result of just one song? In the case of Them Vs. You Vs. Me, Finger Eleven have consciously stayed away from anything remotely resembling "One Thing" and put the focus on the straight-ahead alt-rock formula that they've consistently excelled at. There are certain old-school rock influences that bleed clearly through their music, from Rush-isms in the form of frenetic time changes ("Sense of a Spark") to "Talking to the Walls" and "Lost My Way" which evoke Peter Gabriel-era Genesis. Frontman Scott Anderson's voice is impressive throughout, but when he sings ballads, especially "Window Song" and "Easy Life," something enables him to appeal to a whole different audience than traditional alt-rock fans. There is no 'one thing' on this disc that will allow them to reach the heights of their self-titled CD, just a consistency that will provide longtime fans reason to appreciate the band even more. --Denise Sheppard

Customer Reviews of Them vs. You vs. Me
Not the Finger Eleven I used to know This album is a very large departure from the band that made "The Greyest of Blue Skies" and "Tip", two really good hard rock albums. After their last self titled album, the very polished and good mix of pop and power that they had has been all washed away, and we are left with a sugary sounding album "Them VS You VS ME". Unfortunately, this album will loose a lot of their previous fans, but pick up a lot of young and more "new rock" fans. Paralyzer is about the best and most logical first single from this album, because it is about the only one I can halfway like. Falling on is not a bad track either, but then this album just looses itself in monotany. It burns itself out after about 4 tracks (Track 4 "Lost My Way" says it all. and sounds a lot like Paralyzer). It sounds like are struggling to finde another "One Thing" (which I'm still amazed that did that well, since thier were better songs on the last album). Finger eleven needs to go back and start finding tracks like "First Time", "Suffocate", and "Quicksand", songs that hooked me into following these guys. Even their Rainbow Butt Monkeys stuff was more distinguishable than this. <

>Overall, this is a reasonable album, and I will likely grow to like it more the longer I listen to it, but it is not one of the "instant classics" albums. Pick this up for a reasonable sale price if you must.
