Title: Maybe I'm just not a folk fan...
Product review: I bought this CD because I heard the second track, volcano, and I was inspired, hoping against hope that if the rest of the tracks even resembled this smash, I had found a treasure. Also, I checked the reviews at this site and they were very complimentary. HOWEVER, this CD is one of the most disappointing albums I have purchased in years. The songs are extremely repetitive, and the words...cliche would be a kind description. The singer/songwriter is no doubt a virtuoso guitarist, but he opts perpetually for the road more travelled. It would appear that he is mistaken in his assumption that just because he feigns a strong emotion, he will be able to impart some depth of soul. Instead, he drones on with melodrama, snivelling heart break with the articulation of justin timberlake. I was looking for the rebirth of jeff buckley with the intuition of Aimee mann, and instead I found livingston taylor on zoloft.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
