4.0 out of 5 stars One of Chris Rice's Better Albums, July 25, 2007

By	Ken Lim - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The opening track, "So Much For My Sad Song", is typical Chris Rice happy-go-lucky music, starting off the album in a familiar way. The next one, the title track, is one of the strongest songs on the album despite the minute of filler at the end.

"Love Is Gonna Break Through" is another thoughtful piano ballad from Mr. Rice. My personal favorite from the album is "You Don't Have To Yell," a great lyrical song about not having to be the loudest in order to be meaningful and heard. The next two songs are decent, though "Lemonade" already appeared on his previous album.

"Let The Words Escape" is a standout ballad and definitely a memorable song. Another notable song is the classic Chris Rice hymn-like "Tell Me The Story Again." The one knock on this album (and Christian music artists in general) is the lack of musical evolution and originality. Rice's sound has not changed at all from his early works, which will at least please those who want something familiar. This album, however, is still above average and one of Chris' better albums.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great CD, July 23, 2007

By	T. Johansen (MN, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I love this cd, well, actually I just ordered it through his site and got the code to listen to it online (until I actually get it in person).

Like he say's, it's not quite the "traditional rice" but is great anyways. My favorite song is the first song, "so much for a sad song".

If you enjoyed Amusing, you will most likely enjoy this album.

*****NOTE TO CHRIS RICE***** >>>> Keep the albums coming, Love them...

Peace,
Travis

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great New Talent Is on the Rise, July 22, 2007

By	Scott Michaels (Ipswich, MA (USA)) - See all my reviews

If you love excellent harmonies and melodies, a clean fresh voice, and soft rock/adult contemporary music, as I do, you will absolutely love this CD. As one of the songs on this CD suggests, "You Don't Have To Yell," and believe me he doesn't. Simply the best CD that I have heard in about 20 years. I still love to hear the bouncy harmony and clean melody and voice in "Lemonade."
If you like this CD, and would like a female version with a similar style, check out the artist named "Jem", the CD titled "Finally Woken," and the song, "Wish I" (#7 on the CD.)
