Free Music Notes for Thanks for Nothing

Free Music Review: This is the best! Truly uplifting!
Hit: 5 Stars

Thanks for Nothing differs in tone from Love. Where Love was romantic, sentimental, and basically suffered from the "poor me" syndrome, Thanks for Nothing completely puts the blame on the person in a relationship who made the mistake. It is truly the smarter album overall, because when a person is unfaithful you should never blame yourself. Perhaps this is why Thanks for Nothing is such an uplifting album. It always gives me strength in times when I am sad. If I play Love or one of Frank Sinatra's overrated sad concept albums like Where are You, that will totally depress me and make me want to end my life. No kidding, that is sad music and it makes you feel awful about yourself - bacause it puts the blame on yourself for the failings of a relationship. Personally, that is not what I want to hear when a man is out cheating on me and treating me bad. I would much rather gain strength from an album like Thanks for Nothing.

This album is fun for many reasons. It never drowns in its own sorrow. There are a couple touching ballads, but they seem appropriate and never depress. The swinging big band sound and occasional humor help to lighten the mood and never fail to make me smile. The few country songs are true gems..Rosie sings like Patsy Cline at her best and the songs are surprisingly empowering. Best tracks? The haunting Thanks for Nothing, The Man that Got Away, and the swinging A Good Man is Hard to Find.

The perfect album to put on during a party and play Monopoly to (I learned this over Christmas) and it won't depress your friends! There's nothing like a bunch of sappy songs to spoil a party, but you won't find that here. Bitter, bitchy, and totally self-appreciating, Thanks For Nothing is for those who have been in a breakup but know they were not to blame for it.
