Carbon Leaf's newest album Nothing Rhymes With Woman is a good combination of singable tunes with enough edge to make for a good listening CD. I have had a chance to listen to this CD several times over and have also heard some of the new songs performed in concert. I must say the new songs fit in nicely with the older Carbon Leaf catalog. There are some who may wish for the Echo Echo days when there was more of a Celtic influence to Carbon Leaf's music, but bands and people change and apparantly this is the exact album the band wanted to make. While some of the tracks do sound a bit overproduced, there is still enough power in the songs to lift it through. My personal favorites are Indecision, Miss Hollywood, Lake of Silver Bells, Pink, and Seed.

Carbon Leaf has always been that alternative band that has come ohh so close to breaking through to "bigger" time status. I am not sure if this album will do it, or whether the band even cares about that anymore, but this is an overall very good album and will be playing in my car all summer.

Nothing Rhymes With Woman is, in short, a mediocre effort by a band of enormous potential. I've been a fan of Carbon Leaf for over seven years now but neither this album, nor Love, Loss, Hope, Repeat adequately capture the ingenuity of Carbon Leaf's songwriting genius. One could speculate that this is because of pressures from their mainstream label or the recent departure of two founding members; but whatever the reason, Carbon Leaf's sound isn't what it used to be. I recommend going back to Echo Echo or Ether-Electrified Porch Music for a real taste of what these incredible musicians can do.

After the very disappointing "Love, Loss, Hope, Repeat", I'm thrilled to hear the creativity and musicianship that I have grown to expect from Carbon Leaf. As a long time fan (first saw them in March of 2002) I feel like this album is something they can be proud of again. The lyrics are witty and thoughtful, with none of the awkwardness I saw in LLHR. "Lake of Silver Bells" is a standout, and was the song the audience called for last time I saw them live. I got the distinct feeling watching that show that this was music they were proud of and happy to sing. I'm very happy to listen.
