Review title: A Disappointment To A Rabid Fan
Product review: I'm been a huge fan of Joseph Arthur's entire catalog; in my mind he's the best artist in music today. In two years his CDs have never left my CD changer. That said, this album is a major disappointment. I suspect that Arthur is reaching for the mainstream success that has eluded him so far, as this record sounds much more radio-friendly and is missing many of the more inspired moments of "Redemption's Son".I thought that "Come To Where I'm From" and "Redemption's Son" each showed a polishing of Arthur's production talents over their predecessors; "Our Shadows Will Remain" shows what happens when a record is "over-produced".That said, this album is light-years better than the other crap that passes for innovative music these days, so I'd still recommend buying it. Just don't expect "Redemption's Son", Arthur's (and the decade's) greatest musical achievement.
