Before I bought this album, more than one reviewer here (and on iTunes) have said that this may be the best FFF ever. I have to agree.

John Ondrasik is a genius with his thoughtful lyrics and beautiful melodies. My personal favorites are "This Dance" (what a love song!), "Note to the Unknown Soldier" (brings a tear to my eye), "Augie Nieto" (for the founder of Augie's Quest), and of course, "Chances" and "Slice." "Tuesday" is about 9/11 and the melancholy melody says it all for me. I also enjoy "Above the Timberline" so much. The rest of the album is really great, too.

I can't wait for the acoustic version of these awesome songs!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Tremendous, November 12, 2009

This album is tremendous. You know how some CDs have a couple of good songs but the rest are only okay or not so good? "Slice" is the rare album where each song is a quality song. Five For Fighting puts out some of the best pop-rock and piano ballads going, and this album shows why. Especially nice are the songs "Slice" and "Chances." Also, thanks to John Ondrasik for another great song honoring the American serviceman, "Note to an Unknown Soldier." In an era where artists increasingly trash American ideals its refreshing to see an artist that honors them. This is an awesome CD for fans of Five For Fighting and even those that are new to the sound. Highly recommended.

John Ondrasik is far from my favorite singer but he has had some great songs and albums performing as Five For Fighting! But this is by far the best songs he has written or composed. These songs are just beautiful, well written and crafted pop songs! It's the opposite of so many other artists who remain more popular than this alt band but lack material anything even close to this. Some might say it's a bit too lush and orchestrated, perhaps too mellow or melodic? But I like that kind of music and ballads like these. His voice glides so nicely on these tunes and I havent heard a bad song on the entire album. Perhaps the commercial success of this band is already behind them, but the QUALITY of the music has hit a peak with Slice! I love it!
