Title: Dark and moody
Product review: This is Kip's third solo release, if you count his acoustic stuff, and the first one with new material written after the tragic death of his wife in a car wreck. And it shows. The whole feel of this CD is somber and dark, not exactly heavy (the distortion on the guitar is fairly light), but minor keys and reflective lyrics reflect Kip's mindset at the time.He can still pen a good tune, and the songs are mainly strong. I especially like Cross, Crash the Wall, and there's a fantastic instrumental track as well I just love. The mid-tempo tracks are sometimes similar to Winger's third and final CD Pull, but there are also a lot of slow songs, very reflective.I knocked off a star due to the lack of any upbeat material, but to be honest that's just my opinion, and this CD remains a very strong release.
