Considering this new Candlebox cd was recorded in a mere 17 days between recent tours, I'd say they did a pretty darn good job on it. I really enjoyed their previous recording "Into the Sun" far more than I ever expected, so hopes were high that this new recording would equal or surpass that cd.
I'm usually a person who needs at least 3 good songs on a cd to justify me buying it, but after enjoying their last effort so much I just jumped right in with this new cd. And I am not disappointed. "Love Stories" easily surpasses that magic 3 song mark. Of the 9 new songs I must say that 5 of them really grabbed me upon first listen. "Youth in Revolt", "Sweet Summertime", "Believe in It", "Turn Your Heart Around" and "Baby Love Me" are definitely worth the price of admission for all old or new Candlebox fans alike. The song called "Them Eyes" is another solid song with a very bluesy groove to it.....(starting to dig this one a lot more with each listen). Another song "Lifelike Song" has a cool crunchy guitar riff thats beginning to grow on me too. That makes 6-7 great tunes in my opinion. The other songs on the cd are good but not overly impressive. This cd as with their other recordings is a mixture of songs blended with rock, pop and blues with Kevin's silky voice sprinkled over it all.
As for the 5 bonus re-recordings of older songs, I'd say that they were all done very well. Not altering or messing with the formula or sound that made them so great in the first place was precisely what they did. Given the fact that 4 of those 5 were originally released in 1993, and here we are 19 years later listening to those originals redone and how well they still sound should be a testament to how excellent the band still is and also how great a voice Kevin still has.
It's nice to finally get to hear some more new music from the band. Ever since their last cd "Into the Sun" was released in 2008, I was hoping that they would stick together and release some more new tunes. In all, I really do enjoy the new cd. For as little as $8 how can you possibly go wrong.

Amazing album, Candlebox continues to grow and progress!! Some really great melodic tunes. Sweet Summertime, Youth in Revolt and the first single Believe in it, just great rocking songs. The re recording of the older tunes are good, not too much different, Kind of sound sonically heavier, and just like live versions pretty much. The last track Out here all night is a cover tune they were playing a few years ago, and it was a nice surprise to hear that recorded!! Thanks guys...keep on keepin on!

I think a lot of what the guy who gave these 3 stars said was logical. I like better than Lucy, but sure it is quite as good as others, and yes, Into the Sun was great. The Cd could have had a few more original songs as it is not like the songs are super long. But you know what, many say Slayer's Angel of Death is one of greatest thrash cds, and yet that clocks in like a 1/2 hr. The CD also could be heavier or more instrumental like Breathe Me In, but there are a few that do rock out.
But with all the said, I think all the new songs are good. Not a bad track on here and some real good ones. I think Kevin sounds great, but then again he always does. The more I keep cranking this out, the one I like it. I guess it sounds like a more mature Candlebox in some respects. And in the rock world, this is honestly one of the best things out there. I'm usually happy with 3-5 good songs on a cd and I got 9, plus reversions of some classics. Great CD

Refreshing
I've owned this for over a year, but I wanted to let the shimmer of a new release wear off and walk away from it for a while before I could give it the true opinion it... Read more

It's about time Candlebox came out with some new music.
I saw them in LA back in the 90s and had no idea who they were. They rocked then and they rock now.

Candlebox Still Makes Good Music
When I first listened to this album I really wasn't expecting much, and quite frankly at first I didn't really care for it. A few more listens and it really started to grow on me. Read more

Played from the heart.
Awesome album, awesome band. No filler song that has you jumping up to skip in this one. Wish it was easier to find. Full of energy and played from the heart

not exactly what I expected but it is good
There was no plastic case for this cd, that is my only complaint, the music on this album brought back memories of the old candle box.
