4.0 out of 5 stars Pleasant music to chill out, December 26, 2005

By	Bob (Madrid, SPAIN) - See all my reviews

I don't care if many think this music was made just for selling or if most 15 year old girls are mad about Ryan Cabrera, I think we wouldn't be fair if we criticied his work just for that. I bought this record because I loved "true" and "on the way down" from his previous album, and actually I don't regret it at all. Overall it's a serious record with no bad songs, maybe too mellow, but enjoyable after all.
1-ºFrom the start (3/5)
2- Hit me with your light (5/5) awesome beat. Should have been his second single
3- Shine on (4.5/5) First single. Catchy but overplayed
4- find your way (4/5)
5- Photo (4.5/5) Second single. Nice, but doesn't reach track #2
6- Our Story (3/5)
7- Fall baby fall (4.5/5) Sweet
8- Last night (5/5) Impressive upbeat. Cool guitar riff
9- Walking on water (2.5/5) weakest
10- With you gone (4.5/5) Getting better
11- It's you (5/5) Ending with his best written song. Slow, beautiful...This is a certain future single. Leaves a great taste

4.0 out of 5 stars Suprisingly MUCH better!, December 19, 2005

By	WHITanLcky (St. Louis, Missouri) - See all my reviews

Thank you Ryan Cabrera! After listening to his first Cd which was really good, i didn't think his next one would be any better, BUT I underestimated him. Ryan brings out a lot of his style in the CD...the last one all seemed to be one way, with little variety and you couldn't tell some songs apart. But it was still good. This CD brings out so many different types of styles and he uses more vocal expresssion. Luv it. even though every song is about like one girl, it's definitely worth buying. Especially if your a romantic girl that likes to drive through the country listening to music...this is the perfect CD for a roadtrip with your girlfriends!

Shine On...beautiful song to wakeup to
Our Story...i love the style of the chorus...it's so catchy
Find Your Way..the music is lovely. it's very comforting
Fall Baby Fall...probably the 2nd best song on the CD, it's sooooo sweet and it definitely builds up
Walking On Water..makes you feel really good
It's You..the BEST song, the lyrics are sweet and music is great..just an all around good song

All the songs are great..bottom line, this Cd is very comforting and can change any down mood or elevate in high one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Such a pleasant surprise, March 13, 2006

By	Patrick Myers "Jazzy" (Atlanta, Georgia, USA) - See all my reviews

Normally, I don't buy music from men. I have no idea why -- it is some brain process that I have yet to get out of my head. However, I felt tempted to buy Ryan Cabrera's album. Several reasons for this, actually. One being that one of my close friends raved about it when she bought it, and played it over and over (I never got the chance to hear it, as it was on an mp3 player, and I have yet to ask her to let me listen in on a song yet; I don't like sharing ear buds, as I'm just weird that way). I also saw several advertisements through stores, and, naturally, I got interested. So I forked over the money and bought it.

One of the best decisions I have ever made! He has a soft voice, and most of his songs reflect that -- one being Walking On Water -- and others just give him a slightly harder edge, such as Hit Me With Your Light. It's very hard to escape the short breaths he takes in between lines, but that's almost noexistant. It doesn't take away from the overall sound of the songs, which are quite well written and sound pretty nice as well. A few, like Photo, Fall Baby Fall, and It's You, are a nice listen for a few times, but the ones with excellent replay value (Hit Me With Your Light, Last Night, and Walking on Water) shall be played until the battery dies. No problems, though! This is what plug in cd players are for.

Overall, very good, and a pleasant surprise! I'm currently deliberating over purchasing his first album; however, I'm very happy with what I've got right now. Nice ecletic mix in there -- an absolute joy to listen to!
