Long Line of Leavers is a studio album from Caedmon's Call. The new album features more mature songwriting than their 1997 project and more interesting instrumentation than the band's straightforward follow-up, 40 Acres. Acoustic rock and folk remain the cornerstone of their music, but it's peppered with a wide array of instruments ranging from folksy acoustic guitars, banjos, and accordion, to high production electric guitars, keyboards, and strings. It's clear that Caedmon's Call is attempting to stretch their musical horizons … and they succeed by never straying too far from their style despite their progressive nature.

Album

An album or record album is a collection of related audio or music tracks distributed to the public. The most common way is through commercial distribution, although smaller artists will often distribute directly to the public by selling their albums at live concerts or on their websites. The tracks on an album may be related by subject, mood or sound, and may even be designed to express a unified message or tell a story (as in the case of a concept album), or the tracks may simply represent a convenient grouping of recordings made at one time or place, or recordings whose commercial rights are controlled by a single record label. A group of audio tracks is considered to be an album if it has a generally consistent track list (often with minor differences or bonus tracks in different territories, or if the album is "reissued" at different times). An album may be released in a single format, such as on compact disc, or in multiple media formats, ranging from physical ones such as CDs, DVD audio, cassettes and vinyl records, to digital ones such as MP3 and AAC files or streaming audio.
