Title: phony & pretentious
Product review: I agree with the other negative reviewer here that "Throwing Copper" is full of "fake emotion." I used to like this CD, especially of course "Lightning Crashes," but the pretentious melodrama in every song makes some of them almost unbearable. There is also an unfortunate tendency for the signal to blur into what could be aptly termed white noise, especially on the opening track, at the most "dramatic" and "emotional" moments. In fact, the sound isn't that good, period (just listen to "White, Discussion" - ugh), and combined with the irritating vocals, there's nothing to recommend this album for any serious music fan, even "Lightning Crashes." BTW, the mediocrity of that song is exposed when you hear a live version of it.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
