Featured reviews:
''Hopes and Dreams is an album filled with deeply passionate lyrics that really bring out the best of those early adulthood frustrations, growing pains, and making your own place in this world. The Ska Punk that is brought out in this album really makes you want to scream out loud the lyrics as you head bang and air guitar to the sick solos and heavy drum set! If you're looking for a fresh Ska experience this album is for you!'' - Nathan Puray via Bandcamp on Hopes and Dreams
''Following the release of 3 kick-ass singles, the new album by Nick Standing finally arrives in its full glory. Clocking at 39+ minutes of handcrafted ska-punk, this new artistic milestone for World Beyond's guitarist and top class musician Nick Standing is also a way to reach out to a wider community of like-minded people who turn to music for relatable stories and experiences. It is no accident that the autobiographical nature of lyrics makes you feel every story as your own. The happy memories that make us smile and the worrying memories that make us strong, the uneasy questions we ask ourselves today and the goals we set for tomorrow. Genuine and heartfelt, this is "Hopes and Dreams" by Better Than The Book'' - Vladimir Kuznetsov via WorldBeyond.net on Hopes and Dreams
''This album, A follow up to the ‘One Small Step EP’ is a major step up from its predecessor in terms of mastering. If you listen close you can single out each instrument without even trying. That is not the only great part about this album though, as you listen through the album you can hear the love that Nick had put into the album. Be it from tracks such as ‘Hearts Racing’, ‘Head Above Water, or even the samples used. This album, is a true labor of love and one of my favorite albums I own.'' - David Klein via Bandcamp on Two Years On
''A very heartfelt and sincere album with songs to comfort and inspire you. It is music for the sake of music, it is a passion to create something incredible, something life-changing, and put one's soul into the vocals, one's life experience into the lyrics, one's energy into instrumentation and the best skills into production. "Two Years On" is about living your life as your heart tells you to, dealing with difficulties, overcoming issues. I keep coming back to this album over and over.'' - Vladimir Kuznetsov via Bandcamp on Two Years On
