Negative Positive
Title: Ben and the boys get depressing
Review: Well I bought this album expecting more of the usual happy-go-lucky songs and clever lyrics. What I got was a slow, often boring CD of soft rock and pop. I acknowledge that they're trying to broaden their horizons, but to me they're spreading themselves thin. First off, all of the horns and strings REALLY take away from the three singular talents that make up this band. Second, I've been a serious fan since I saw them in concert the first time. Their brand of toe-tapping, in-your-face fun had me hooked. I guess I'll have to bring a box of kleenex to the next show. In short (too late), I want to feel good, not feel bad for Ben.
