ONCE AGAIN A HIDDEN GEM DISCOVERED WHILE SHOPPING AT HOLLISTER AND THIS WAS PLAYING OVERHEAD. ALL SONGS ARE EXCELLENT AND COULD LISTEN TO IT FOR HOURS. LOVE IT, SO WILL U. FOLLOWUP CD TO AWAKE CD. LOVE THIS CD.
You won't know which song to choose to be your favorite This Cd is by far one of the greatest.
I love the songs and it would be a great addition to anyone's collection. This is a great cd.
Processing and shipping was slower than I'm used to with other online sites but I am happy none-the-less. Only heard a few songs before buying. Was pleasantly surprised with the rest of the CD.
I know this sensitive guy, you're my reason for living stuff goes over well with the young girls, I'm definitely not in that demographic. Girls will love it though. First, I will say that this guy has an awful lot of talent. This is not really a bad thing, since even my favorite albums have songs I'm not crazy about. I saw a video of this guy on Youtube and thought I would buy his album and help support the independant artist.
A little filler is par for the course. This guy has a good voice, I just question his approach at times, or maybe the producers decisions. Overall, it is a solid album that he should be proud of and people should hear, but it's not for everyone. He will no doubt mature as a man and songwriter and go on to bigger and better things, so maybe I'll stay tuned and give him another try later after his divorce seasons him a little. For the girls in this demographic that love the idea of a guy writing love songs to them, and break up songs about them, they should love it. The last few songs really bug me.
His sound reminded me a little of Hoobastank "The Reason", which is fine by itself, but too much of that heartfelt angst gets old quick. Some of the songs were annoyingly whiny, with overly melodramatic gasping close to the mic. Too much of a good thing, and some not so hot things mixed in. I probably shouldn't leave any feedback which will offend the fanboys & girls, but I payed for the CD and will try and be as kind as possible. For me, the talent is obviously there, and I will take the songs I like and copy those to a mix CD, but I can't listen to the whole album straight through. Most albums have a balance of 2 or 3 love ballads at the most and other songs about more diverse topics.
I've been playing guitar for a long time and would kill to be able to sing well enough to produce my own songs, but sadly, I don't have the voice. Lyrically, I suppose you could take any song out of context and say it's emotional, romantic or whatever, but in the context of an album full of the same old heartbreak, alternating with undying love, it all starts to sound and feel the same.
