Latest Album Reviews

We have not yet encountered an artist or a band that could beat the phenomenon that Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr attained long ago. They were decades—not years—and they are still the best. You’ll be even surprised that even a child of the present generation can sing a Beatle song.

I only find myself capable of putting their fame and their success into words, but not their indescribably remarkable music that was behind this raging fame and success. I can’t come up with a sentence, a phrase, a word that would define such far-fetched words and melody. To just end, they will be replaced with something better only when the meatball bounces.

The band plays like a balladeer, you’d kill for them to sing to you from your window and difficultly contain your excitement and be as calm as possible. The tunes of the songs add delight and are very satisfying, but when it comes to some of the lyrics, you wouldn’t want most of what the words mean to be true… except “Fall For You”, of course. But unquestionably, these lyrics are very agreeable considering that the feelings and the circumstances contained in these songs are faced by the youth today. They can relate and love the sappiness easily, that’s why their MySpace is bombarded with praises on fans’ comments that say “It’s so unbelievable that someone could fit so perfectly in my mood.”

You’d just play the CD all day, all afternoon, all night and as you sleep. John Vesely’s voice is something you will never get enough of. He lets people know that these songs are truly his, in the way he delivers them. The album is for the romantic and for the emotional.

Originality found in every song’s melody and lyrics, like what we’ve always known Switchfoot to have. The lyrics that are sensible, “responsible”, honest, and those that you don’t have anything to worry about letting your kids listen to. Excellent melody that’s never been heard before, that you always find yourself banging your head throughout the album.

Some may sound a little crazy, like �American Dream� and �Amateur Lovers�, as touching as �Head Over Heels�, and elevating like �Awakening�. So, it�s good to know it�s balanced.

I ought to say that it�s a must-have for every rock enthusiast, it�s highly recommended and you will never regret it.

After listening to the record, you realize that it’s what soul is almost all about. You would refuse doing anything but listen to the CD all day on the bed at home; you will still feel so accomplished being under her deep expressive voice. In spite all the pressure and circumstances Winehouse is under, you will not feel anything problematical in the album since she sounded like she was having fun. Anyone would wish to possess a voice like hers, I reckon even those who can already sing rather well would wish to have it, too. It will take a very long time before getting over all the tracks, and it would be one of the few things you’d risk and bring out of a burning house with you.
