This
album is pretty much flawless from start to finish. It has a sound that is overall rock, yet can
change from song to song in enough ways to always keep you on your toes. Musically, it is one of the most brilliant
things I have ever heard in my life and the use of male and female vocals
should serve as an example to all trying to do so.
Even a
song like “Ice & Asteroids” cannot hinder my enjoyment of this CD, and it
has this spoken word quality that almost makes this sound like some sort of
weird rap. (It’s okay also possibly too
because I’ve loved Donnie Wahlberg since I was a young music fan)
The
only problem with this album that I have is the lyrics, one line in particular.
In the
song “Gamesss”, this line gets me:
“I was born so many years ago / And I was told
anything was possible / Yet as I grew I heard
you’d been untrue / Is this the world that you wanted for me?”
As I
heard that line or two sung during that song, I completely stopped what I was
doing. I don’t remember what I was doing
exactly, but it was probably either typing or downloading music. I just froze. I tried not to cry. And I wanted this guy out of my head.
