Negative Positive
Title: Shows Potential
Review: Eric Church shows alot of potential on his first major label debut Sinners Like Me. Unfortunatly though, this record seems to be all over the place. It's almost as if Church has no idea what he wants to be. Some of these songs are molded in the vein of contemporary country (think keith urban or rascal flatts), while others are more "traditional" (think stuff that doesn't get played on your local hot country station). Even still, most of these songs add a southern rock vibe, which throws everything off all together. Now, none of this would be bad if Church could actually pull it off, but more often than not, he can't. Lyrically, the material here is pretty strong, but lyrics alone can't make an entire song. Hopefully Church will come out with something a bit more focused next time around.
