Sound: Vertical Horizon first started out as a band in 1991 I believe (I might be a year off) when Matt Scannell and Keith Kane met at Georgetown University. The contrast of this "band" as opposed to highly acclaimed Everything You Want was the difference in genre mainly. For each album, Vertical Horizon seems to change. Their very first album was folk, second: adult alternative, third: live jam band, and fourth, back to adult alternative...

Earlier this year, Third Eye Blind proved there's still a lucrative market for late-'90s nostalgia, though that group's latest release, â??Ursa Major,â? had a vibrancy that made the familiar seem fresh. By comparison, "Burning the Days" -- the first new studio disc in six years from Vertical Horizon, one of the most-played acts on Top 40 radio in the late '90s -- feels flat and lifeless. Guest spots by Richard Marx and Rush drummer Neil Peart do little to help...

The periodization of music history is nothing new. The British Invasion is a specific period in the '60s whose second wave has been fervidly sought out by Britpop enthusiasts for the last 30 years. Some say disco was both born and dead by the end of 1977, although disco has tainted the image of the '70s ever since. The '80s and New Wave are irrevocably intertwined...

In 1999, Vertical Horizon didn't have much with which to follow its breakthrough single, "Everything You Want." And yet the song's percolating groove provided enough sustenance for listeners led astray by Secret Samadhi, Live's pompous follow-up to Throwing Copper. Now, Vertical has returned with Go, an album in which "When You Cry" stands in for "Everything You Want" and introduces the album's catch phrase psychotherapy, with Matthew Scannell singing "I can't wait until you let me down...

Vertical Horizon's major-label debut, Everything You Want, finds the band strengthening their acoustic jam rock with prominent electric guitars, anthemic hooks, and a clean radio-ready production that brings them in line with the likes of the Wallflowers...

Fans of Vertical Horizon's breakthrough album Everything You Want may want to add Running on Ice to their collection. First released in 1995, their debut was distributed by Rhythmic Records (home of Jacopierce) for a reason. The album is a folk-based collection of songs with none that resemble the hard rock, electric guitar sounds that made them popular. Members of Dave Mathews Band (Carter Beauford) and Jackopierce make appearances, which results in a cool pickup for fans of those bands...
