My favorite song by far is "Image." It has a mystical, wistful feeling that I can't get enough of. The lyrics add even more meaning to the song, discussing the image that people try to fit into when their true personality is being obscured.
These aren't cookie-cutter songs calculated to make a buck. This is thought-provoking music that is meaningful and palpable. Like a good pair of jeans, the songs get better over time.
I have yet to think of a similar band. At first they sounded like Weezer, then Crosby, Stills and Nash and then Peter, Paul and Mary (well, sans Mary). Even that list of groups doesn't do them justice. I'm just going to have to face the facts; they sound like Glass Harp. However, in this reviewer's opinion, the sounds of Glass Harp is well worth a listen.

The Theory: I wanted to do the same, so I played it in my car on the way to and from work and then listened to it in the evenings. The funny thing is I fell asleep with it on repeat, so when I woke up the songs were embedded in my mind. I was humming the entire morning.
