Linda Perry is a pretty smart lady. Say what you will, the woman has an eye for talent. This is proved by this cd and many others. Sure we have all heard the #1 single Mountain Man, but how is the rest of the album?
Pretty darn good actually. The cd keeps the music upbeat and lively. Each song flows nicly into the next and keeps your foot tapping. It is piano driven and a little like The Fray, but has more rock injection in my opinion. How do the songs break down? Let's do the 1 to 5 scale (5 is the best).
Mountain Man - 4.8
Song speaks for itself. It's upbeat and will get you up and moving every time.
1985 - 4.2
Another upbeat song. This one could be a single as well.
It's only Wednesday - 4.4
This song is pretty cool for 2 reasons. One it shows off Tony Beliveau's vocal range nicely. And second, Ben Folds Five are back together! That's who they remind me of on this track.
Come Away - 4.0
You know, I am not a Crash Kings fanboy or anything. This album is just solid. Songs like this one are in the upper range because they are just that darn good!
Non Believer - 3.2
The third single from the cd. Good but nothing special in my opinion.
14 Arms - 4.8
Possibly the most rocking song on the whole cd. Listen to this and try not start bobbing to this one! I found this one of the most exciting songs on the whole cd.
Raincoat - 3.4
Another song that could have easily been a single.
You Got Me - 4.3
The second single. By this point in the record I decided I wanted to see them live. The energy is amazing.
Saving Grace - 3.6
It strikes me on this song how they are not just good songwriters, but also good musicians as well. Kudos!
My Love - 4.8
You might think the last song on the album would be filler, but it's honestly one of the best songs on the whole cd.
Total 41.5 / 50.0. Not too shabby! This cd is completely worth your hard earned money. No need to just buy single songs off amazon.com. Just fork the cash over for this great record.
