Music For People by VAST

Pros: Different but familiar sounding music
Cons: They could use a little more work on lyrics

VAST is a band that few people know about, but those in the know realize what a treat it is to listen to their music. They have an interesting sound that is familiar enough not to sound odd but different enough to set them apart from most of what you ...

Pros: Skillful weaving of orchestra and rock instruments, songs that really mean something.
Cons: Occasional bad tunes, sometimes uses too much conventional guitar.

I picked up VAST's Music For People at the record store based on the strength of its t ...

Pros: An excellent sophomore album from a hardly known band
Cons: It's different from their debut album

VAST's extraordinary sophomore album, Music For People, was released on 9.19.2000. After searching for it, not knowing the release date, for the past three weeks, I am finally listening to the genius music created by Jon Crosby. There is...

Pros: The completely universal feel this album brings to the table
Cons: nothing

It’s hard to pigeon-hole VAST. There are times when
they sound like the heirs to Nine Inch Nails’s
industrial throne. There are times where they come
across like the bastard children of The Cure. And
then there are times where...

Pros: Another excellent record by V.A.S.T.
Cons: Not as heavy as the first.

After waiting almost two and a half years V.A.S.T. finally released their second album in September of 2000. Needless to say I was a Wherehouse music waiting for them to open so I could buy it. I must say it was well worth the wait.

I had...

Pros: Very high quality recording, clean sounds and tones
Cons: None - I love it!

VAST (Visual audio sensory theatre) made the first album with pretty much just one guy named Jon Crosby. He is sort of an aspiring Trent Reznor, who relies more on guitar than keyboards, and more smoother tones, rather than...

Pros: Obviously highly skilled musicians
Cons: Middle-aged music to wash the car by

So, at Christmas, I was passed a CD of music by a band called Kerb. Looking at the pictures of the band members I realised one of them was my cousin, the keyboard player. So I bunged it on the discman I'd also received as a present and had a listen. I...

Pros: Good melodies and harmonies by talented musicians
Cons: A little too "light"for fans of thier first album.

VAST is a refreshingly talented band for today's standards.Thier mixture of traditional rock and orchestral sounds proves to be almost brilliant when compared with many mainstream artists.
Music for People lacks a degree of the...

Pros: Music that means something, listen 2it all the way through, jon crosby the song free,
Cons: VERy good but the 1st is a little bit better

This is an excellent sophmore album from a highly unknow yet marvoulose band. And now it seems to be a band where as befor it was Jon Crosby doing all of the music.Since the last album there have been recruits to play bass drums and guitar leaveing...

Pros: Touching,Seems to go with a theme of love forgiveness and hopefulness
Cons: skips around general theme with songs that seem to interrupt the flow at times

About a month ago.I went to a record store my friend worked at looking for 'No Angel' by Dido.On my way back to the register I came across "Music For People" by Vast.I was quite surprised that it was already out,and decided to go with that...

Pros: Great album.
Cons: none

I bought this album because I had seen them on MTV X (a new MTV channel, aside from MTV and MTV2). I saw the video, and instantly fell in love with their music. So, I decided to go out and buy the cd. The album is awesome. It's also put together really...

Pros: Very well produced and solid sophomore effort.
Cons: Sounds very different from live shows.

I didn't pick up Vast's Music For People until after I had seen the band live in Lawrence, KS. I was blown away by their sophisticated sound in this age of metal and rap-rock. After purchasing the album, my first thought was that the songs on the album...
