Rogue Wave is one of the few bands around today that you really can’t compare to anyone else. I know people toss around names like The Shins or Death Cab, but really Rogue Wave just sounds like Rogue Wave – and to me that’s a very good thing. It’s a tribute to the band’s ability to create songs that are sonically varied and adventurous, and to their desire to grow and evolve from record to record. I’ve always been a firm believer in allowing bands the space and freedom to stretch and experiment. I don’t understand why so many people seem to want their favorite bands to make the same record over and over again. “Permalight” is definitely a departure from “Vultures” and “Asleep at Heaven’s Gate,” but you can still find bits and pieces of the band’s past scattered across the songs. Granted, tunes like “Goodnight” and the title cut are not going to be to everyone’s taste, but after several close listens I found plenty to like about them – and for those who want their old beloved Rogue Wave there are great songs like “The Fear Itself,” which would be right at home on any of the band’s previous records. I give Zach credit for coming through difficult personal times with a bright outlook and a willingness to push himself and his band forward. It’s called personal and professional growth, people, and it’s the only thing that keeps an artist both relevant and interesting. Rock on, Rogue Wave!

My favorite Rogue Wave album is their first, the organic, acoustic guitar driven, and somehow psychedelic “Out of the Shadow.” “Permalight” is the furthest thing from that, but a logical progression through their discography. It is very “Poppy” with much more blissful melodies and electronic infusions. In fact, 3 or 4 songs on this album use a drum machine in the band’s effort to make nearly danceable rock music.

I must admit that I prefer the organic sound of their first album, but “Permalight” is probably their best album since for many of the same reasons. It still presses all of the same emotional buttons for me, and the studio ear candy abounds. So many little pieces seamlessly come together to make each track, that the album is fresh and even improves with a half dozen listens.

One of my friends, a true indie rocker, can’t get over the electronic and poppy sound. I can appreciate that, but this album has all the chops and quality of Rogue Wave at their best. If you’re a fan or an interested newcomer who can deal with a shiny-sweet tune, give this one a listen.

The sounds really make a difference with me, I sleep better, with fewer times waking up……….Worth the money!

For me Nature sounds are very relaxing and the most beautiful sounds in this world

Very nice mellow sounds. Helped baby block out the noise from the next room and helped me sleep next to a loud “grunter” of a baby.

Like others, I found that this track plays for 20:08, not the advertised “78 minutes.” The quality of the recording is good; it features only the sound of waves without new age background music, electronic bird screeches, or fog horn noise.

Quick delivery. Quality product. Very soothing background sounds. Highly recommended. I am a very satisfied customer.
