Five for Fighting
It doesn't seem to have the harmonies and sing along quality of the others. I like this CD less than the other Five for Fighting recordings I have.


5 for fighting
This should not be allowed. When purchasing the album Message For Albert by five for fighting I didn't realise i would be purchasing a radio promo copy which is illegal to sell. I will be contacting the authorities.


Before Superman, Ondrasik was still pretty super...


Five for Fighting was mixed in a stew of melodies and notes, as sometimes Ondrasik would hint at with the later Superman. America Town is the album that people know Five for Fighting for, and really his song "Superman (It's Not Easy)" is what people really remember; however, before that John Ondrasik released Message for Albert, and too bad few ever got that message. For example, many times this album seems more like an early Dave Matthews, minus many of the instruments of course, while at others this is reminiscent of Billy Joel.

Yet the character is in the delivery as well as the message; thus power with quality is socked to the listener as they go from beginning to end. So much so, that I seriously believe this is another one of those few albums without filler, and although you might not like all of the songs, you should understand that few could achieve an album such as this that will captivate the audience for the whole listen.

Thankfully, as we have now seen recognition has been granted for the sounds of Five for Fighting. However, I just would like to highlight the often-overlooked first released album, and how good it really was (or is).


Awesome!
"The Battle for Everything" recently came out, and it really exudes the gritty sound that the band had on this album. This is, in my opinion, the best album that FFF has put out to date. "America Town" is also very similer to this album, so if you liked either of the other Five For Fighting albums. . . GET THIS ONE.


EVEN BETTER THAN AMERICATOWN!
HEY. . IF YOU LIKED AMERICATOWN, I STRONGLY, VERY STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS ALBUM. EVERY SONG IS GREAT, THE BEST BEING 10 MILES FROM NOWHERE. BELLA'S B-DAY CAKE, THE GARDEN, AND HAPPY ARE ALL OTHER GREATS. EVERY OTHER SONG IS GOOD ENOUGH TO BE CALLED SOME OF THE BEST SONGS EVER. YEAH, IT'S JUST THAT GOOD. I THOUGHT NOTHING COULD BEAT AMERICATOWN BUT MAN WAS I WRONG. IF YOU DON'T HAVE THIS CD IN YOUR CAR OR HOUSE. . . GET IT RIGHT NOW. YOU WILL NOT STOP LOVING IT!.
