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 their past 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
Album Description
International pressing of the hit 2007 album featuring two bonus tracks: 'Them Vs. You Vs. Me' and 'Sacrifice'. The members of Finger Eleven collectively wrote / recorded over one hundred songs during the process of creating Them vs. You vs. Me.. The influences are of varying styles from rock to country to dance to funk to old 60's songs. Many of them were written by exchanging files over the Internet wherein one person would track a home recording, send it off, and then some one else would build on it and send it on down the line. Many of the sounds on the record were recorded during the demo process in locations as diverse as a castle, a lodge in Northern Canada and their homes. Beyond the obvious guitars and drums one would expect to hear on a Finger Eleven album, Them vs. You vs. Me features assorted keyboards, xylophones, a lap steel, violin, banjo, and other assorted instruments added in to the mix. Wind Up. 2008.

 sell out August 1, 2008
This is the textbook definition of a band selling out: trading in great hard rock pieces with little publicity for generic poppy tunes that are suddenly all over the radio. I hope theyre happy with themselves. Listen to the first 2 albums instead.
 Amazing CD April 28, 2008
Great CD. The group does not get enough credit or publicity. One of my new favorites!
This One is Just Right April 27, 2008
I am really enjoying this CD. Finger 11 really hits the mark for me in this CD. I like several cuts from the record already. Of course, just like everyone else, I love Paralyzer.
Odd, I agree with reviewer Anthony on the Fozzy CD April 16, 2008

Fozzy's new CD All That Remains Reloaded is really good as Anthony mentioned. However, I also think that Finger Eleven is completely underated. Strong groove that flows with the vocals....they finally got it right, in my opinion.
Extraordinary! April 15, 2008

Don't ya hate when you have to listen to a new album a dozen times before you can tell the songs apart? You won't have that problem here. There is a variety of musical moods on this album that is sure to please. This album projects Finger Eleven to the front of the line, sure to introduce them to a greater audience, and make them a household name. By far the best album I've heard in a long while.
