Soul Asylum, just toned down a little, September 20, 2006
This review is from: Candy from a Stranger (Audio CD)
This is probably Soul Asylum's most mellow album. It lacks the intensity of some of their earlier work but it is still tuneful in most places. It has some pretty good songs most notably I will still be laughing and New York Blackout. I only had Grave Dancers Union and Let Your Dim Light Shine when I bought this one and upon first few listens I kept thinking "Man, come on wheres the get up and go?" I appreciate it for what it is, a decent, mellow Soul Asylum record which is better than most music out there. Its not their best album but it isnt bad either.

Skip it, September 11, 2006
This review is from: Candy from a Stranger (Audio CD)
I love Soul Asylum. I like every single other one of their releases, and downright love some of them.
This cd is chock full of boring, uninspired, defeated, depressing songs that lyrically, sonically, and emotionally sound phoned in. This is the one they put out because they had to. Skip it.
