Free Music Notes for Underneath [Limited Edition w/Bonus DVD]

Free Music Review: Barely Short of Perfect!
Hit: 5 Stars

I will review the CD song-by-song as they play.

01.Strong Enough to Break - musically fairly simple. It won't be your favourite track, but it won't be your least favourite either (if nothing more, than just because of the brilliant lyrics).

02.Dancin' in the Wind - Guitar driven. Great drumming. Rockier than most Hanson tracks. A lot of fun. Really liking this. If you've ever liked any upbeat rock song, you'll like this.

03.Penny & Me - I find it a little tired... I've heard it many times before, so that probably adds a lot to the issue. It's hooky, it's fun, it's a love song (sort of). I say sort of because the music video implies that it's about a girl (Penny) and music she loves (Hanson ie. "me"), not a guy.

04.Underneath - I prefer the acoustic version with the harmonica... Since it's more polished in the studio, that only seems to take away. However, both the studio and acoustic version are amazing. Had I never heard the acoustic version, I'd have nothing but praise here for the song. A true beaut.

05.Misery - I like tracks like this. It's nice, short, kind of upbeat, but the lyrics are very... cynical. Hearing the music, you expect it to be about something positive, yet the main lyric of the song says "as long as we're together we can always only be misery". Lovin' that.

06.Lost Without Each Other - if this track doesn't have you dancing, jumping or just moving in general, you must be a human plant. I cannot sit still listening to this. Before going to write my exams in the morning, I'd give this one a listen and just jump around and I'd feel a whole lot better. Love the beat. I have lots of fun playing the drums to this song. Out of all the fun, "moving" songs, this one definitely takes the cake.

07.When You're Gone - Beautiful guitar and vocals playing the main role here; drums, bass and organ join in a little later... very beautiful. There's just something about the way the guitar mingles with the drumbeat/bass and the vocals that just grabs me and twists my insides around. I really love this one.

08.Broken Angel - Is it just me or do Zac songs sound like they're solo songs? They seem very private. I love the simplistic piano playing. And let's not even get into the magnificent voice this man has, especially when he just belts it out. And the lyrics... pay attention to the music, vocals, and read the lyrics along, and you'll be weeping. Love it.

09.Deeper - the only Isaac lead on the album. Michelle Branch offers back-up vocals here, and except for the harmonies sounding slightly higher than usual, her contribution isn't apparent. A little repetitious. If you want to see Isaac shine vocally, see Hanson live. He doesn't cut it nearly as well in the studio. My least favourite track, but still listenable.

10.Get Up and Go (U.S. only) - First verse sounds too country, but after having heard it a few times, I just let go and enjoy this one. I love the intro w/ the tambourine/drums/bass, and the chorus is very fun, danceable. Great song. Quality-wise, it would lay around the mid-point.

11.Crazy Beautiful - Talk about brilliance. The drums, the build-up of the instruments, the horn-section, Taylor's vocals... all amazing. I loved this song live, but it was completely different. Much more mellow. Here it's so rich, full...alive. This song is nothing short of perfect. Really.

12.Hey - Lyrics- weak. Music- okay. This version's better than the acoustic: it's meant to be played plugged in and not stripped down. The song shines when it gets really hectic towards the end. This one goes in the "Deeper" department - listenable.

13.Believe - This could very easily be my favourite track. I love Taylor's vocals and piano work here. I love the way the words blend together. This one and Broken Angel have the strongest lyrics. Like on their last album, we (technically) end with a beautiful piano-ballad. The interesting part is how much better this ballad is from last album's masterpiece. They just keep getting better.

14.Lulla Belle - again, we get a private Zac show. Lovely. Similar to Broken Angel in that respect, but Broken Angel is clearly the stronger of the two. Vocally, both are great but Broken Angel wins. Lyrically, Broken Angel definitely wins. Musically, they're so different... Broken Angel is more emotion-stirring. Lulla Belle is lovely. It's a lullaby. It has an interesting, carnival-like feel to it. The piano oddly reminds me of a song by Michael Jackson called Little Susie, which features piano that is meant to sound like a little music-box (with the spinning ballerina). Beautiful.

I have rarely bought a CD that has left me feeling this satisfied with my purchase. Get the Limited Edition DVD if it's still available - not too long (about 30 minutes total) but definitely worth it.
