Tears For Fears meets Keane and Coldplay June 17, 2009

Solid, piano-based songs similar to Keane with production values like Coldplay as if sung by Curt Smith of Tears For Fears.

The "trancendence" of the "anthems" here are entirely FORCED by a band trying too hard to believe in their ability to move people...I guess having a song penned by Chris Martin on your last album will do that.
Don't get me wrong, I used to cherish Embrace in a major way...The great moments on their previous album "Out Of Nothing," were quite worthy...But Embrace have had a choppy career at best, and unfortunately when I saw them live in Detroit, they did NOT deliver the goods. What a shame.
 Brits Being Held Back January 5, 2007

Another excellent CD from Embrace. If you look at the British Rock scene, the Brits are truly carrying the mantle of greatness, but they are also having a hard time getting airplay in these hip-hop enamored times. Gomez, Starsailor, Doves, and Embrace, e.g., get pushed to the side, and have problems getting their music out here. Snow Patrol seems to be the exception(and a worthy one). This CD is worth paying the extra price for the import. I'm willing to do this until my fellow Americans clear their ears and hear the quality.
Consistent Offering From Embrace September 21, 2006

Embrace's follow-up to their successful comeback "Out of Nothing" is filled with anthems and is far more upbeat than its predecessor. "No Use Crying" kicks off with U2-style riffs and the classic Embrace anthemic-feel. The first single off of this album was "Nature's Law," a good hit-worthy track that is plagued by a clichéd piano riff and melody. One of the best tracks is the second single, "Target." The verses sound Keane-like, the chorus is uplifting, and the music matches the lyrics "Everything is possible, it's beautiful."
My favorite track is the nearly overly sentimental "I Can't Come Down." This song has the markings to become one of the best rock ballads of the year. The piano, strings, introspective lyrics, and soaring guitar riffs blend together perfectly as the lone ballad on the album. "Celebrate" is a catchy tune, but it starts to sound too much like other Embrace anthems. Embrace definitely has a style, but it is at times like these that it becomes too obvious with certain tracks. "Exploding Machines" is amazing only because of the excellent guitar riff and pounding breaking at the two minute mark. The last two tracks of the album are good and listenable, but not memorable.
"This New Day" is a good album and Danny's vocals are as consistent as ever. However, consistency may be the problem with this album. Though there are a few standouts, some of the other tracks sound too similar to each other or to other Embrace songs, casting them as unmemorable and undistinguishable songs at the end of the day.
Another masterpiece from Embrace - Would you expect anything less? August 25, 2006

A bright, energetic album, Embrace's best since The Good Will Out. No slow, plodding songs, rather a collection of lively, epic songs like "Target" and "Nature's Law." Look for the special edition version with "World at Your Feet" as a bonus track, and for crying out loud, TELL PEOPLE ABOUT EMBRACE. This music is simply too brillant to be ignored in the U.S. and to be denied a stateside release.
