Free Music Notes for Waking Up Laughing
Free Music Review: I will continue Anyway
Hit: 4 Stars
Martina McBride sang a song titled Anyway and this has fit right in my life. I have been through so much in my life from my past to the present and at times it is difficult to live with DEPRESSION. The good lord above has dealt me quite a bit in life but for some reason he thinks I was a person to take it all. In my past a person just left my life, no reason or explanation was given to me, through the years I have lost people due to death and then living in this world today at not being 100 percent happy ,but chose to move to another state after 31 years is insane. Though i have been through so much of good times and sad times, tough times, I have not given up with my faith in the lord. I pray everyday and several times and hope that I continue to be blessed. I just do it anyway . Thank you MartinaFree Music Review: Wanted to love it but....
Hit: 1 Stars
Martina McBride has an amazing, beautiful, strong voice. But I did not like this album at all. It was so formulaic and commercial sounding that it was almost insulting to her audiences' intelligence.
There were one or two decent songs but that was about it. Strangely, there was one song that had this upbeat, happy feel, but it was about a very sad, dark subject matter and felt very odd.
I love her voice and I'm sure she's a good person with a big heart but I put this one away and won't ever listen to it again.
I'll listen to some music samples next time she releases another one.
Free Music Review: Great country music
Hit: 5 Stars
Fantastic country music by a great country artist. This is a must- have CD for Martina fans.Free Music Review: Custom-made for AC radio
Hit: 2 Stars
Martina McBride has one of the best voices in country music today so it was a huge disappointment that she chose to waste her talent on a CD of second-rate material such as this one. This is her worst album since 1999's Emotion. It's slightly better than that red-hot mess but not by much. It pales in comparison to its predecessor, 2005's Timeless. Timeless was an excellent album, but not what poptry radio is looking for these days. My guess is that in order to avoid being pigeon-holed as "too traditional" or "too country", Martina overcompensated by going too far in the other direction with this effort. It certainly hasn't gotten her back into the good graces of radio, since there have been no major hits from this collection, aside from the lead single "Anyway".
This is not a country CD; it seems to be aimed more at adult-contemporary radio listeners. I'm giving it two stars, instead of one, because there are a few decent songs - "Anyway", "Tryin' To Find A Reason", and "For These Times" - and because I just can't bring myself to give Martina McBride a one-star review.
Bottom line: if you liked "Emotion", you'll probably like "Waking Up Laughing". But if you want real country music, pass on this one and hope Martina offers up something better the next time around.
Free Music Review: LOVE MARTINA, BUT...
Hit: 3 Stars
I do love Martina. I think she is a great talent who has chosen her material very wisely over the years. However, there is just something different about this cd. Her voice is excellent form and many of the songs she has selected do have social messages and this is always a good thing. The problem is that this album is a much more depressing that her previous releases. With the exception of the first single, "Anyway" there really is not a positive, uplifting song in the bunch. I have listened to this album many times and always find myself turning it off before the end of the cd. I guess it could be summed up this way: I do not believe many of the songs to be radio friendly and while it is important to give the folks something to think about when they listen, you should never underestimate the value of a nice melody and catchy chorus.
The best examples of Martina's talent are her "Greatest Hits" cd and the new live concert dvd. It will be well worth your time.
