Binocular

I keep hoping every day that this guy will put out another record. I love, love, love every song on this project. I play it for people that have never heard of him, and they will give me grief until that first note hits on song one...then they shut their mouths and listen. I've never had anyone say a bad word about this album. I just want more!!

I only now discovered Kevin Rudolf in his young age creativity and he's an amazing artist, so talented and outstanding. These songs he wrote, composed, recorded and produced by himself at his NYC apartment at age 18, he started to play guitar since age 8. This CD is smooth, melancholic, soft, it even makes me cry. There's something sad and soothing in discovering the past or another side of an artist, in a good way.

this cd came very fast and i was very happy with the quality, it was new it just had a cut on the side of the case, but everything worked fine. i would buy again

Excellent album that blends well with any playlist created. Highly recommend for any Kevin Rudolf fans to add to collection.

This is my second review for this item (with another user). I have managed to listen to the whole album and I think only one word can characterize it : AWESOME . On a scale from 1 to 10 I would give it 20 !! I am a big music fan and I've listen to great songs but in my opinion Binocular's album is the BEST album I've ever listened to . What makes it so good is the fact that each song is beautiful in it's one way ."You" has a great guitar single at the end but you can hear great guitar chords all over the song ."Never" is an explosive song with good guitar chords and good lyrics."Everything Turns" - this song is one of my favorites - lyrics containing life facts and great background vocal."Deep" - I think it's the weirdest song I have ever listened, because of it's lyrics ... but it's excellent ; amazing song."You Were The One" - it has a very nice rhythm ... you'll surely be captivated by this song."Gone Away" - great lyrics and a good guitar all over the song."Don't Say Goodbye, Say Goodnight" - even from it-s title you can guess that it's a special song ... there is a part in it (at about 3min and 15 seconds) that I really love , it's the best in the whole song...whenever I listen to this song I become relaxed and all the sad things go away."Fire Burns Bright" - my personal favorite ... great rhythm, lyrics... the whole song is super-super ."Let Me Fly So Long" - again you can hear excellent guitar chords (this guy really knows how to play the guitar !!)"Wait Until" - I really love this song .. especially the end."As The End Of The World" - one of my favorites ... the lyrics are very good and as well as the music ."Paradise Club" - another excellent song that ends an excellent album !!If you haven't made a clear idea about this album then just buy it, listen to it and you'll be captivated. I can't express my feeling in words but I've been listening to this album for over an year now and I just can't get tired of it ... it's a classical !!! I gave it a 5 star rate but I think it deserves all the stars in the world !!!!

I came across this CD by chance and I'm so glad that I did! Binocular is one guy, he writes all the songs and plays all the instruments. It's incredible to hear what he is capable of. Binocular is unlike anything I had heard before, he definitely has a unique sound, and it's a good one. It's not just pop, it is so much more than that. There's a lot of depth to his sound and his voice blends perfectly with the music. Every song on this album is a good one. Here's a run down of each track:1) You - A great opener, an upbeat song. Actually my favorite part of the song is the last minute or so...wonderful guitar solo.2) Never - Love this one, has a great chorus. Also some excellent guitar work in this one.3) Everything Turns - Catchy sound, I like the lyrics.4) Deep - This is my personal favorite on the CD and has turned into one of my favorite songs ever (which for me is saying a lot). A beautiful, beautiful song. The chorus is wonderful. The vocals are wonderful, there's so much feeling to this song. I can listen to this song over and over, love it!5) You Were the One - Another great, catchy song. Love the drums at the beginning and end.6) Gone Away - This is a slower one. Focuses more on just the acoustic sound. It's a nice change of pace and shows Binocular's great vocals.7) Don't Say Goodbye, Say Goodnight - Starts out smooth and slow; builds up to a great chorus. I also love the lyrics to this one. It's about trying to hold on a little longer to a relationship that's over, how it's hard letting go.8) Fire Burns Bright - After "Deep" this my favorite song on the album. I love the beginning, the layers build up to a great sounding song.9) Let Me Fly So Long - Love the chorus and the beautiful piano work at the very end.10) Wait Until - Has some nice, interesting sounds. I also love the lyrics.11) As the End of the World - It's got a great beat. Another wonderful song.12) Paradise Dub - This one really stood out to me, it's one of my favorites, it's a perfect song to end the album. I think there is a lot of feeling to this song and especially in the lyrics and vocals.This is one incredible album - every song is excellent! I'm so glad I came across this great artist who is truly talented at what he does, I hope we will hear more from Binocular in the future.

Binocular is a very interesting artist. You first hear it and you think to yourself... ugh, not another boy band. But it's just SO catchy. And then you find out he played all the instruments, did all the programming and producing, by himself, with no one else's help. The mixdown was done by someone else but the whole album is his work. He's a pretty good guitarist, he ain't no Santana, but he's nice to listen to. It's almost like it's from out of the 80's (minus the KILLER production). 4 stars for the same reason as one of the reviewers above, I'm into John mayer and bands like Vertical Horizon, so a record like this is usually not found in my collection. I'm into all sorts of music though. Anyway, buy it if you like GOOD pop and not BAD pop.

bought by my son a while ago, can not honestly review as no nothing about it must have done the trick because not heard from him about it since.

非常に高品質のポップ・ロックアルバムです。なんといっても透明感溢れるボーカルの声が魅力的で、アップテンポの曲からアコースティックな曲まで情感豊かに歌い上げています。あまりメジャーな作品ではなさそうですが、プロダクションといい、曲の出来といい、非常に高品質な作品です。試聴して気に入った方はぜひオススメします。期待を裏切りません。
