Title: Poor follow up
Product review: I loved Nickle Creek's debut CD. This new one is a huge disappointment. What happened to the intstrumental virtuosity and songs like "I am a Lighthouse"? This effort is sophmoric at best with some painfully, shrill vocal arrangements. There is very little violin on this CD which is very disappointing considering that Sarah is one of the best young fiddle players on the scene today. I appreciate "taking a chance" musically but this just didn't work for me. It was almost cartoonish at times. Nickle Crrek, go back and do what you do best! Instrumental virtuosity! Your songwriting skills will come in time but they are not refined enough to make up 90% of your music! 50% vocal/instrumental split is more like it for where you guys are now!Good Luck!
