Title: Yawn.... it is really as groundbreaking as they say?
Review: I must be the odd man out. I eagerly awaited the release of this CD, as I have all of the other CC discs. I own everything they've released and have been a big fan.... However, I'm not sure that this CD is such a marked departure from the previous efforts, except perhaps it's their most commercially viable CD yet. Each song sounds like a crafted radio tune. I think the music is "good," but far from spectacular. Given their brilliance on August... and Recovering... this CD is a grave disappointment - not because it's musically different, because it feels like yet another creative band selling out and directing their music further away from creativity and closer to pop success.Overall, it's a fair CD, but those of us that are die hard CC fans have come to expect a great deal more than a "fair" CD from this band. I am gravely disappointed and consider this a very weak effort, at best.
Is the review positive or negative?
