Title: A Breakthrough Album In The Right Place & Time
Product review: For those who have been Rosa's fans since his days with Maggie's Dream (and some were fans even before that), this is the English-language album you've been hoping he'd record. Rosa's vocals and writing have grown, and this album really reflects that maturity, experience and polish. In addition, it's release comes at a time when male vocalists are paying more attention to lyrics that can stand on their own as literature, which is truly Rosa's niche. Without a doubt this is not only Rosa's best effort yet in his long career, but is one of the best bodies of work collected this year. If you love Matchbox 20 and The Wallflowers, you'll love this album. If you love reading Neruda, Rimbaud and Simic, then buy it for no other reason than to listen to the words of "Then". Here's hoping this gets some campus radio play.
