Burning the Days
Burning the Days is the fifth studio album from the band Vertical Horizon, released on September 22, 2009. After an extended hiatus, work began on Burning the Days in 2007. Scannell took a different approach to the record by working at his home studio, and created his own label, Outfall Records, to release Burning the Days on. Scannell also worked with outside musicians while writing and recording Burning the Days, which included drummer Neil Peart from Rush, and singer/songwriter Richard Marx.-Wikipedia

Alternative Addiction
This album is a perfect showcase for Vertical Horizon’s return to the spotlight, and could easily be one of the best albums of 2009.

AllMusic
Returning to action after a six-year lull, Vertical Horizon head into some new territory on Burning the Days, moving in two separate directions: getting softer and sweeter on the slowest songs, while selling the drama on their harder numbers.

Inner Ear Media
Things have been tough for the band and the experiences have led to a very strong and complete album in every sense. It sounds very much like Vertical Horizon, yet it brings something new to the table. The band has grown into a very mature musical act and knows the tricks of the trade. From start to finish, “Burning The Days” is convincing and may well mark the return of this very underrated band.

The Rock and Roll Report
February 15, 2010. After a near 6 year break, Vertical Horizon has quietly crept back with a new CD entitled, “Burning the Days”. The record picks up right where “Go” left off, serving up light rock with a punch, made more interesting thanks to the signature delivery of capable vocalist Matt Scannell.

September 21, 2009. . . . "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.

September 30, 2009. The opening lyrics of the first track state it all. The band has come full circle from the early days in many ways, but their main objective…making you remember why you became a Vertical Horizon fan to begin with.
