Biography

If every album provides snapshots of where an artist’s mind at heart is at the moment, Slice, the latest offering from John Ondrasik (aka Five for Fighting), is a collection of digital jpegs and faded Polaroids. The album takes stories of friends, family and even American servicemen, and sets them to music shot through with the spirit of the great songs of his youth. It’s a diary, ...

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth every penny! November 11, 2009
Format:Audio CD
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 WOW! October 13, 2009
Format:Audio CD
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Disc but peeved October 13, 2009
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a wonderful disc - everything you'd expect from the FFF that put out "100 Years" and "Superman." A decently driven amount of rock with a wonderful piano laced throughout. Strings on "Tuesday" so sweet you might want to avoid them if you're diabetic but they still work just beautifully. Intelligent lyrics of course. I am sorely tempted to say this is the best FFF disc yet. YMMV.
What's my peeve? I pre-ordered this from the 'Zon and ended up paying about a buck and a half more than it's selling for now. But the $1.00 free mp3 download mollifies me. I may hold off on pre-ordering things after this experience.

Love this. I use several of the songs while I'm exercising at home. It gets the blood pumping and the other songs are pretty good as well.
