Great New Songs from Edwin McCain
Even so I think that the best song is Write Me a Song, a ballad in the I'll Be tradition, complete with a very memorable chorus. I love Edwin McCain and this album really gives them a chance to branch out from their ballads that have been so popular from the last albums. This album is refreshing with all of it's experimental music styles that have not been the norm. Rock, to ballads, to Gosple. I'm always happy to hear new stuff by Edwin McCain, and I can't wait for their new live album.


Terrible, Horrible, Awful
I've been a McCain fan for quite some time. . and, this album is terrible. I'm sorry, but it is. It's horrible. Honor Among Thieves and Misguided Roses showcased Edwin's songwriting and singing talents. . . Messenger seemed like a rushed album meant to cash in on the the pop success of "I'll Be. " Fine, whatever. . . at least it's not this album, which is just terrible. I don't know what happened to Edwin's songwriting capabilities, and to his penchant for creating catchy and memorable melodies. . . but this album has no memorable songs, except for maybe "Hearts Fall," which like "I'll Be" could be the theme for just about any romantic comedy produced in the last 5 years. All I can say Edwin, is what happened to the passion and self-introspection that inspired such amazing songs as "Tip of my Tongue" and "Alive"???.


Great album, but not MY favorite
This album is certainly not a disappointment. I'm a huge fan of Edwin McCain, I've had all his albums at least twice (I end up losing them since I take them everywhere). Many of the songs will strike an emotional chord in the deepest of us, others are just good fun to listen to. There is more rock and roll style songs on this than many fans will be used to, but they're all a blast to listen to. "Write Me A Song" and "I've Seen Love" are my favorites from this one. There are also a couple satirical songs - much like "Beautiful Life" from 'Messenger. Though 'Messenger' is still my favorite McCain album, I would never pass this one up. There is no reason why any Edwin McCain fan would not like this one.


Sadly disappointing
Unfortunately, it was painful to listen to. As a longtime fan of Edwin McCain, I couldn't wait to buy this CD. This sounds nothing like the Edwin McCain I know and love. It's full of songs about drug addiction, hitting bottom, and has a real grunge feel to it. I regret buying it.
