Title: Copies Amazed power-ballad success way too much
Review: Lonestar didn't really surprise me with their 2001 effort. I'm Already There and Not A Day Goes By suffers from "Amazed" syndrome. Amazed's 1999 multi-format mega success is spread all over this album, their wanting to sound like every '80s heavy metal band power ballad. Did they listen to Monster Ballads 2 too much while making this album in Nashville? I'm Already There comes off as very Diane Warren-ish in its sappy lyrics. Their wanting to be diverse as a country band is okay, but these songs don't work for them. These songs are just complete fluff and their other songs are far better than this.
Is the review positive or negative?
