then you should love it---as I thought the first two songs varied between average and worse. The 2nd half is quite good however.
I just love this cd..its not heavy but just loaded with tons of melody and great background vocals, I could be wrong but I'm guessin this is going to be on Andrews top cds of the year list.

with the way he is gushing over it, I'm expecting nothing less than a 99% on the review. I think it's a bit patchy, but I think ALL of the UC cds are patchy and leave me pretty cold lyrically in places. Marcie Free is one of the best singers out there and will raise anything a level or two, but as I have said before--being a great singer automatically doesn't make you a great songwriter. A great singer can take a good song to greatness, but a bad song with a great singer is still a bad song.
As of right now, I'd rank the debut and Waiting for the Sun (the Kelly Hansen album) above the new one. It's a grower, but generally about what I expected--which was a mixed bag.
