Title: Melodic Storytelling That Rocks
Review: While it's always dangerous to compare bands, I will say that musically you will probably enjoy these guys if you like Five for Fighting, Dave Matthews, Counting Crows, or Augustan. I'm not saying they're the same, but they all have male leads and an ability to deliver strong messages in catchy, melodic rock songs that are consistently easy to take.A collection of short stories about trying to figure out life and other people, I can't say whether or not the songs on this album reflect true stories from the bands' lives, but they certainly sound deeply personal, and easy to relate to.My favorites are "She Is," "Over My Head (Cable Car)," "Heaven Forbid," and "Little House." I especially like the integration of piano work with a slightly rough-edged guitar. The new TV staple, "How to Save a Life" is growing on me, but more as pop background than as something meaningful.All in all, you can't go wrong with this one.
