Title: Still the great Old 97's, but without the edges
Review: I'm a devoted Old 97's fan, so I rushed out yesterday morning to buy Fight Songs. On the first play-through, I found myself continually flipping ahead to the next track, trying to find the "edgy" songs which would remind me of earlier albums. While I didn't find any, I still think this CD is a great collection. Some fans will say the group has "sold out" to the label this time, but, even though a bit more mainstream, Fight Songs still offers up the same proof as its predecessors: these guys are incredible songwriters. And I'm sure it will grow on me more with each playing, same as Wreck Your Life and Too Far to Care.
