Title: They Should Re-Title This "Blandera"
Review: I just bought this cd and am so disappointed. Everything I love about Charlie Robison seems to have been toned down. Edgy and raw has become over-produced and commercialized. Most of the reviews I have read are using the phrase "radio friendly". Well, I think he has little chance of commercial success with this as he sounds bland and lifeless. I think there are only three songs on here worth listening to...Desperate Times (though this song certainly sounded better on his cd Bandera), the Preacher (on which he ALMOST sounds like his old self), and the Wedding Song (on which Natalie sounds better than Charlie but seems to have had her mic turned WAY down on the last chorus of the song). I guess this would be fine for someone who DIDN'T know how brilliant Charlie COULD be but it's too late for that with me.
Is the review positive or negative?
