I just spent the entire weekend listening to this disc. It's great. Now why just 4 stars? Good question. Allow me to sum up my opinion. The first song hit me like a breath of fresh air. It definitely wasn't pop. It was whatever the artist wanted it to be. This was the case with every song on the album. Each stood on its own and told a story. Here I found Zack just like Jack Johnson in the fact that he could tell a story in very few and simple words. I loved that fact that all the songs were very relatable, covering situations that are capable of containing a billion words to cover the vastness of the topic, yet Hexum ropes us into the actual emotion in a direct and effortless way using a minimum amount of words. The variety of instruments used is just completely unheard of in today's pop driven world. We normally hear a saxaphone because a fill is needed in the bridge. Zack uses the saxaphone as an actual instrument, one capable of making or breaking the song. The only downfall to the disc is how formulaic it sounds. One verse, one chorus, one verse, one chorus, bridge, chorus, chorus, end. It just seems a little predictable. Other than that this is one top notch album. Is it a must? I'd say yes. I really think people need to break the mold and that is exactly what Zack has done. Job well done on a freshman release. I expect huge things!

This Cd rocks, well not like a hard rockin cd, but it has some tracks that rock more. All in all, it is just a great CD and another Hexum that will hopefully excel as his brother has. Although he has a different type of music, and as Nick says "More musically talented with instruments."

Good CD: GO OUT AND BUY IT!

I wish I could give this CD more than 5 stars because it definitely deserves more. This is one of those CDs you can listen to all the way through without skipping a song. The whole Hexum family is just amazingly talented and I'm so excited to see Zack's CD.
