Pleasantly unadventurous
OK though. This is fine music - perhaps not excitingly different enough from most accomplished bands to really stand out.


Not their best but good
Rebel, Sweetheart is an display of how the band has "grown-up" a little in my view. I have been a wallflowers band since "Bringing Down the Horse" and have bought every alblum on release day since. Although the sound is still the same as previous alblums, there seems to be more to the lyrics than ever before. There are no standout hits in my opinon on this one, but all the songs are very good. Definitly worth picking up. Songs 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 9 tend to be my favs. .


A beautiful album with stunning lyrics
An example of one of the many great albums by these artists:

1. Jakob Dylan's lyrics and music are mind boggling and he stands aside other greats such as Chris Cornell and Roger Waters\David Gilmour. Jakob Dylan - Rebel Sweetheart

2. Roger Waters\David Gilmour - The Final Cut

3. Chris Cornell - Superunknown
.


new throwback
these guys sound like tom petty/elvis costello/the band neil young i get chills and tears listening to this stuff the apple didn't fall far great everything real edgy but still simple in a great way.


Just not the same...
It's a shame because the Wallflowers have always been one of my favorite bands. I've listened to this album over and over, but I just don't like it that much. However, the sound is too different-- it's too separated from the lullaby sound of the other albums.

Only good track in my opinion is #7, although it's not his typical sound, it's very catchy. It's been in my car CD player for months, but everytime I turn it on I wish I had one (any!) of his older CDs in there instead!.
