Rating: 4/5
I love the tone of this album. Dave King was frank from the first song to the last about his heartbreaks and his other feelings. We need more artists like him who believed in what he sang before he sang it, even though some of it was rather unrealistic and probably too hopeful.
I have nothing against being hopeful, I just don’t see how something really horrible happens to anyone, and I mean horrible as in being paralyzed except for an eyeball, a person can still be hopeful. So instead of singing about “We’re Gonna Get Past the Bad Stuff”, maybe he should try to sing about how to get through the bad stuff because just singing about staying positive is most likely not going to help.
From the adept and apt guitar playing to his smooth singing that carried the album, the album sounds pretty much impeccable. Now if King can improve his lyrics to be more specific then this would be a really good record.
