I've got Bob "under my skin!"
This album is much more sensitive, like you feel he's opening up a part of himself and letting you see it, taste it, feel it, etc. A really great solo album, much different from his funky/rocky Scabs and Ugly Americans stuff (and way more toned down, languagewise). I love "Under My Skin" & "Metal & Steele. " I definitely recommend this album. I don't know why he hasn't become a superstar worldwide (yet). He's got what it takes. He's not only an amazing singer/songwriter/musician but he also writes poetry and does art. He's done some of his own album covers and also has a book or two of his stuff.

The fact that Bob is "easy on the eyes" doesn't hurt things either, ladies!
;-).


Classic
Being in the TX area, I learned of Bob a while back and have seen him many times. You gotta Love Bob Schneider. This album is classic and is what got him noticed. He can master a variety of styles, jazzy, funky, americana, plain old rock etc. . .

This is an excellent album. Highy Recommend it. .


One of the top Five CD's I own, and I have ALOT.
There are only a couple of songs that aren't really really good. This is GREAT disc. Oddly, 'Metal and Steel' is the song that was released on the radio in my market and is one of my least favorites. 'Bullets' is a live show favorite that he's covered many ways. '2002' is maybe his best and most intimate ballad. 'Big blue Sea' predates all the Jack Johnson surfer dude vibe. 'The world exploded into Love", "Moon Song", and "Madeline" are really beautiful melodies. And all this from the guy who brought you 'Hangin' out with the horney girls" etc. There are other songs in his wide and prolific repetior that I like as much or more, but this is his high water mark so far and the best solo disc to start with if you don't own any yet. And if that's the case, you need to take corrective action and go git yourself some right away.


I Travel With This CD
I heard Bullets on streaming radio and was driven to find more by Bob. I have had Lonelyland since the year it came out. I couldn't so I bought the cd the same day. I fell in love with it immediately. It's a perfect blend of good singing (you can feel his voice) and great music. It is one of my favorites and it (well a copy of it) travels everywhere I do. The lyrics can stand alone as poetry on almost all the songs.

Under my skin I'm all wet
Under my skin I'm all bloody
Under my skin my heart lies broken
And my mind is acting funny

In an industry that is plagued by copycat samplers and illiterate buffoons someone with talent can get lost in the muck. I'm glad he has managed to keep his head above it all. .


WITH A BULLET
Bob's a true talent. This is the real thing. He's got the chops on guitar as well as voice. And quite the wordsmith a la Elvis Costello, Mike Doughty or Steve Earle. AND he can rap as well! A very well rounded, seasoned artist without the MTV crap that goes along with it, thank God! This CD is quite an accomplishment, with not a bad song in the bunch. My faves are Bullet, Big Blue Sea, Jingy, Round & Round, the amazing Under My Skin. . Hell, the whole thing!! See this guy live as well to get what the big deal is about. His band kicks a** as well. Dangerous!! .
