Anyone own this album. I have had it for a while now, but only just feel comfortable making a opinion of it now.
First the negatives: Its very bland, The songs are too light-weight and almost preachy. In short its very, very sappy - to the point that it is sickening (check "No Borders"). Lauren Evan's is a Bekka clone, and to be honest, she is unnecessary. Her vocals are grating, and quite frankly ruin the songs.
But, on the positive side, it has a handful of quite good tracks. Notably "Bitter End" which is infectious, and could have easily been a Fleetwood Mac song. "Looking Into You" is a brilliant track (probably because Jackson Browne wrote it). Todd Smallwood would have been a good asset to Fleetwood Mac in their "Time" era (perhaps more than Dave), and in fact if you like "Time" for more than just the Christine contributions, I have a feeling you would like this very much
I would love to know what some of you fellow Ledgie's think
