Produced by Sean Baillie and engineered by Darius Szczepaniak, Lost In The Soul Deposit was recorded during late-summer of 2005 at Electric Machine Studios. The talents of these two rock innovators rolled up their sleeves and created one of the finest Canadian alt-rock albums of the year. The cd made it's world debut on November 18, 2005 at the Toronto Sick Children's Hospitals gala fundraiser Blanket Of Bliss and immediately drew rave reviews plus a growing international fan base.

Ten clever tracks written by All The Brightness. Ten inspiring messages that can easily captivate any large venue or the intimacy of you and your iPod Nano. You won't find computerized sampling on this baby; All the songs on the album can earn a spot on any internet chart out there.

All The Brightness kicks open the door of this album with the opening track "Soul Deposit" that's filled with shiney guitar riffs and the staple vocal performance of Nick Mazzei. You just know from this opener you're in for a fun filled musical ride from Toronto's 'next big thing'. 

"Beautiful Massacre" has a great beat with the ear catching distinctive drums of Pete Maniatis. The song has hints of inspired sounds from perhaps Green Day, Sum 31 or Nickelback. Whatever drove the creative pen and delivery of this song, it is one that offers a calm mid-tempo drive right into it's intense chrous.

All The Brightness slows down the pace with their dazzling ballad "One Thing". The lyrics are a clear and simple message. Mazzei's vocals totally own this song.

Kevin Bailey and his heart pounding bass plus the bands flawless harmonies are heard on "Come A Long Way". It's topped with a burning guitar solo making you feel on fire and wanting more.

"Never You" is a standout track from Lost In The Soul Deposit; it has all the right hooks to garnish rock and campus radio airplay. One of their heavier driven songs with great vocals and harmonies. This song is also the band's polished debut video.

"Waiting" is another fresh sound from Mazzei, Bailey and Maniatis. I love songs that are perfect for getting out of the city to enjoy a long highway or country drive, anywhere... destination unknown until we get there. This song does it for me; writing this review during the bitter cold early-hours of the last day of January... man, I can't wait for summer and this song will be part of it. 

"Come A Long Way", "Frozen", "Til It's Over" and "Blanket Of Bliss" are other not to be missed selections on Lost In The Soul Deposit.

The album closes with "When It All Made Sense". Fairly sophisticated from the other tracks as it dabbles more into our emotions. It leaves you with a refreshing vibe sensing so much more will come from this talented trio.

Modern Rock and Power Pop genre terms are tossed around way too freely by 'music critics' like day-old halloween candy; All The Brightness and their debut album Lost In The Soul Deposit is a solid Rock album in it's sweetest form. Highly recommended.
