Title: Overbearing
Product review: The introspective singer songwriter has become nearly as common as the studio born popstar. So, it takes more than a few thoughtful lyrics, the ability to carry a tune and a sparsely strummed guitar to impress my ears.Rice's voice seems pleasant if not sweet at the onset, but midway through the album his often keening vocals grate on the nerves. The songwriting suffers from an overbearing sincerity and dirge like quality at times. The female vocalist and strings add to the overblown affair, creating a "give me a break" reaction, rather than the impassioned heart pull it strives to be.
