Free Music Review: Okay...
Hit: 3 Stars
This album is alright if you like sad, lame, third-grader lyrics which -- to Ms. Griffin's marketing credit -- was a great way to go, apparently. After all, everybody loves a deadly-sad song that relates to how they've been so terribly wronged, whether by their lover, their parents, or life in general. Isn't that right? I liked that stuff in college. Then, I grew up. When I listen to this album, I want to shoot myself! It's SOOOOO depressing! Then there's the topic of Ms. Griffin's purported musical and lyrical genius... Please! How many times can you rhyme the words "tragic" and "magic" in any two tunes before someone notices you keep using the same lyrics over and over again?
Most of the "gems" on this album should have been left to wither in whatever sad, little, back alleyway coffee dive they had their debut in.
I only gave this album three stars because it clearly was not made "perfect" in the hands of some overzealous producer, yet Ms. Griffin manages to sing in tune some of the time. That's not saying much.
