I wasn't sure what to expect the first time I heard this CD, I was pleasantly surprised. Since then it's become one of my all time favorites. The lyrics are original, witty, and at the same time touching as they depict some of things we all experience in our lives. I have given this CD as gifts to my friends and family. I highly recommend.

2.0 out of 5 stars A step down from the first CD, July 19, 2004

This review is from: They Can't Keep Me Down (Audio CD)

The first CD by Meade Skelton was solid, considering that he was so young at the time. Some people complain about the production of this album, but I think it's the rawness of the first album that helps pushed that particular recording into excellence. This time around, with more keyboards and a glossier sound, it seems more pedestrian and stale than its predecessor. It sounds more like a colllection of songs, rather than an album; it lacks a certain consistent intent, and as a result, the final payoff is anti-climatic.

Nevertheless, his vocal abilities still have much to admire, and I still think he has potential. Nevertheless, Buyer beware!

This Meade Skelton character produced another sup-par album. It wasn't technically as bad as his first, these songs aren't the classics that he butchered on his first album, but still musical atrocities.

Believe it or not, there is a ray of hope for this "singer", as bad as this album was, and it was very bad, on the title track, 'They Can't Keep Me Down', I detected a glimmer of talent. If he gets a voice coach, and works really hard, he might not be that bad, but he's pretty far away from being 'not bad' right now.

I am glad there weren't any stalker songs on this one, like that Nicole Kidman song on the last one.
