Canadian Music Store Free Music Notes for Two LightsFree Music Review: Incredibly disappointing
I've been a fan of FFF since hearing "Bella's Birthday Cake" & picking up the debut "Message for Albert," and this album is by far the weakest. While "Message for Albert" & "Battle for Everything" rank as the best with excellent stuff throughout, "America Town" is just an alright album, with some stellar stuff and some blah. "Two Lights" has some downright bad tunes (Freedom Never Cries, Road to Heaven), lots of blah and nothing stellar, though "65 Mustangs," "I Just Love You," and "The Riddle" are all above average songs. I was really happy John got two huge hits off the previous two albums, but I don't hear one here (maybe "65 Mustang"). This CD is definitely John's lightest to date (certainly a departure from "Albert"). Overall, I'm just really disappointed with this one. John seems to be on a one-great/one-not-so CD release schedule, so maybe the next one will be stellar again. In the meantime, just stick to "Albert" & "Everything," followed by "America Town" if for no other reason than to get "Superman". This is easily a skippable CD. [The Best Buy version has an unreleased tune in "Drive You On" & "100 Years" (acoustic). The former is another forgettable one and the acoustic version is fine, but nothing compared to the original since it's missing piano.] |
