5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite Group EVER!, October 14, 2002

Frogpond is an amazingly talented group that will (hopefully) continue to make music for years to come. This CD--their latest--combines more styles than 1996's COUNT TO TEN, including an acoustic solo (the song "Empty Room"), an upbeat punkpop anthem ("I Did") and a satisfying rock-rant about working ("Get Paid"). This album has something for anyone and everyone--and it deserves wider airplay. But then, a true music connesiour can find the best above the rest! Skip Brittney Spears, N'Sync, and all the pre-fab Rap groups--Frogpond is the real thing!

5.0 out of 5 stars They've Done It Again..., June 8, 1999

Well, what can I say... After a long, horrible wait for the release of Frogpond's follow up to "Count to Ten," I can honestly say that it was worth the wait. I purchased this album the second it came out, (Actually, I had it ordered months before.) and it has not left my CD player since. I can't say which song is my favorite, because I really can't decide yet. The album is so eclectic and brings so much to the table, that not one song deserves to be left out. The album is a mixture of instant radio hits, power ballads, and pure "get up and jump" music. Heidi has topped herself as both a singer and a songwriter. She shows her talent through words, catchy guitar and bass licks, and an increased vocal range (compared to "Count to Ten"). And of course, like with "Count to Ten," it seems as if she is singing to me, and I'm the one who has caused her heartache. Most of the songs leave me wanting to apologize or console. I don't know which, but whatever the case, this girl has a knack with combining prose and voice. I can't say enough... I can't say anything intelligent... I think I'm still in awe. So, until I can get out of the mode of cranking "Safe Ride Home" in my car and belting out the lyrics alongside Heidi, I'll leave it at this. I've found that it's hard to explain the joy I feel about how good this album really is. Once again, this album is a must buy for anyone who wants to hear a fallen angel sing to them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Little Known Band Puts Out Very Solid Album, January 9, 2000

By 

Richard M Pittman (Baton Rouge, LA) - See all my reviews

I had never heard of Frogpond until our local college radio station (KLSU) started playing one of their songs in light rotation. On the strength of a few listens to this song (the name of which escapes me), I was able to tell that this band had a fresh sound and was more interested in self-expression than in hit-making. I bought the album, and now it is my current most-played CD. I really like it quite a bit, and I look forward to witnessing the further development of Frogpond as a band. I just hope they never sell out.
