Out to capitalize on the radio-rock scene, Saving Abel releases upon us their self-titled debut.
Deceivingly releasing Addicted as their lead-off single, people are led to believe that that's basically the type of songs they'll get on the CD. Nope. Not even close. I bought into the hype, sure. I mean come on, Addicted is an impossibly catchy, fun song that just begs to be sung along to. The rest of the CD doesn't really follow suit. Which is fine. I know I don't want ten other carbon copies, but I expected something better than what I was given.
The only other true standouts on here are Drowning (Face Down), Sailed Away, Out Of My Face, and Beautiful You. After numerous listens the others will grow on you, but you'll never readily admit you like them. It'll be more of an "eh, it's an okay song" reaction. That doesn't mean they don't have any good qualities, however. New Tattoo starts things off on a swift note, bringing to mind Nickelback in every way possible. She Got Over Me has a nice sing-along chorus. Beautiful Day is just begging to be released as a single thanks to the overall feel of the song. And Running From You, once again, has a very catchy chorus. PLUS! The guitar melody at the beginning is pretty cool.
There are a few bombs though. 18 Days is nothing but garbage and In God's Eyes seems like it could be good at first but ends up being completely uninspiring.
Your enjoyment of Saving Abel hinders completely on how well you deal with trend bands. I'd like to be able to say they aren't one, since Jared Weeks has a distinctive voice I'd like to hear more of, but all signs point to 'TREND'. Saving Abel, the CD not the band, is in all rights okay though. Not great by any means, there's nothing new brought to the table, only things we've heard done a million times before, but not a bad buy if you can find it cheap.

Saving Abel is a bit of a throw back to big hair / arena rock. Other modern day bands that come to mind are Hinder, Nickelback, and Theory of A Deadman. While they may have some weak lyrics and music at times it is due to the overproduction to make things too slick. The band does have promise. Chances are they may never reach their full potential due to the need to meet the requirements for modern day radio, which has no live cultures on it as opposed to a really good yogurt.
There are four tracks that catch my ear and actually stand out. The rest is sort of, well, fodder that I get bored with quickly. Like I said, this is a band that has promise and if they mature as songwriters both lyrically and musically they might just stick around for awhile. Here's hoping they do!
