Title: A Prelude to "Fear"
Review: I would love to give this CD a five star rating, I really would. In fact, this disc is my favorite Toad the Wet Sprocket album. BUT, it is not perfect. I am not really able to put my finger on it but something is off about this album. Taken individually, almost all the songs on Pale are solid. Songs like "Torn," "She Cried," High on a Riverbed," "Corporal Brown," and "Chile" are outstanding but as a whole, the disc lacks flow. Perhaps it is due to Toad's "curve" at this point... whatever the reason, Toad does not achieve the full sound that they do on their seminal album, "Fear." Still, "Pale" is a worthy album and well worth the price to own it.
Is the review positive or negative?
