Editorial Reviews
Saving Abel combined meat and potatoes rock with bombastic hooks to land a hit Album with their debut in 2008. Their 2nd album Miss America also had a big impact and futher broadened their audience.
The raw and down home feel of the melodic hard rock all over the new album Bringing Down The Giant recalls the most vital and energizing aspects of the humble beginnings of the band. Bringing Down The Giant is the type of album that fully delivers on the promise of everything that has come before with Saving Abel.

Customer Reviews
“ There are good songs here and the sound and vocals are here as well but what is missing is the raw, driving, frantic desire the music had in their self titled album. ”

I have waited for more Saving Abel since I wore out listening to Miss America repeatedly on my drive to and from work the last couple of years. Miss America is one of the best rock albums in my extensive music library. I consider myself a rock n' roll fan who enjoys good lyrics, good singing, and loud but melodic guitars with a bit of an edge, and the first two albums had all of that and then some. The singing from Saving Abel is always great and heartfelt, but this album disappoints because it lacks that edgy guitar sound for most of it. "You Make Me Sick" is by far the best track on the album. It finally musters up enough steam with the patented driving guitar sound by the end of the song, but not before we have to sit through a twangy banjo intro.
The title track is probably the second best song, but doesn't come near any of the tracks on the first two albums, IMHO. The rest are decent sounding songs that just seem to be missing something. I don't know if they had someone else produce this album who told them to take their foot off the gas and slow down a little, but that's what it sounds like. Hopefully the band will wake up and rock again before it's too late.
Don't get me wrong, Bringing Down The Giant is a good album by itself, but it doesn't live up to the expectations created by the first two releases. Except for the two tracks mentioned, all the other songs have about the same tempo and style (without great guitar parts), which makes it all kind of sound a like. If you're a Saving Abel fan, you'll like this album, but you'll probably find there's something missing.

I'm not going to belabor my review, "Bringing Down The Giant" is a disappointment from a band I have really grown to like-- a lot. The edge and energy that was present in their self-titled album "Saving Abel" is all but gone. I'm not sure who they're trying to sound like, but it isn't the same band. Save your money until Amazon puts it on sale for $2.99, it won't be long.

Not bad, not great
I loved their first album and most of the second. Sadly the trend seems to continue as I like less of this than the previous one. Read more

ANOTHER FINE FOLLOW UP ALBUM
WELL PRODUCED GOOD MIX OF SONGS. THIS WILL NOT DISAPPOINT. THEY REMIND ME ALOT OF 3 DOORS DOWN, BUT THEY DEFINITELY HAVE THEIR OWN SOUND

What happened to the quality rock sound?
I like these guys because of their southern rock/blues sound - a bit like Lynard Skynard. Or at least I did until I heard this album. Read more

Just love it
Good melody, a beautiful pop rock with something new. They have this song from louisianna that just spicy up their song. I try to make them more known here, down in eastern canada. Read more

Good Rock and Roll!
I have not heard much Saving Abel, my wife bought a previous cd from this band and I liked it. This cd has a lot of good tunes, I found it enjoyable to listen to.
