This is actually a really solid cd. The band has that image of pop-metal from their "Fly High Michelle" days, but this album just does not really fit into that vein too well. It is a really straight forward and radio friendly release. There are guest appearances on the record from Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick and Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins. Rick Nielson actually plays lead guitar on three tracks, and Corgan plays lead on the remake of "Everything Works If You Let It" which is also a really cool cover. Most of the songs are really good, and you can listen to the CD straight through without feeling as though you have to start skipping songs. In fact you can listen to the CD over and over, it doesn't really go stale. "Freak" is one of the better songs on the record. It's not really too hard, but has strong lyrics. Speaks well to anyone that has been outcast for superficial reasons. Really a great song. Some of the other highlights on the album are "Ain't It Funny", "Believe In Love", "Baby You're The Greatest", "Someday" and "All Alone". "Loser of the World" is actually in a class of its own. I've never really heard a song quite like it. It's the perfect song if you want to feel sorry for yourself. It's just a soft voice over simple piano. "Loser of the World" and "Someday" are actually a bit on the softer side, but both songs are very moving with great lyrics and a wonderful delivery. Overall this cd flows very, very well. Check it out, you'll probably like it!Read full review
