I have never considered myself a astute conisuer of music, but once I had a glimpse of this album, and began to feel the music layed down through each inspiring, thought-provoking, and humble lyrics... I immediately became trapped. Trapped to the words, the emotions, the power that all of these songs have. They say it takes only minutes to fall in love- well, I will be listening to this album and remembering all those times when I was falling in and out of love. Its heart-renhcing, full of life and of love. Its a bit of Coldplay- with a hint of Dave Matthews, and it seems to pull from your heart- as if the person listening to the song was there to help inspire the lyrics. This album just seems to be written for that one person who is listening- and for the hearts of everyone who listens to it. This album may not have been written for anyone- but it will definitely touch everyone.

I really debated whether or not to buy this cd. I spent a good half hour at Borders listening to the music selections, and I had a couple of bucks so...I bought it. See, I am an impulse buyer, I buy anything that appeals to me without much deep thought. But enough about me, besides the fact that I am estatic about this cd. My day is not complete without hearing "Jainy" before I go to bed. This is, in my opinion, the best track on the cd. But that is definately not all the cd is made of. Let me list my favorite songs: 1 through 12, maybe skipping number 8. They really surpassed my expectations when I impulsed bought it(sorta, I did liten to about five of the tracks and LOVED "Superman" already). All the songs are so emotional and so well written and so well sung and I love the piano peices. This cd is powerful. And now I am just about to go and buy "Message for Albert", their debut album that took a while until release, out of an impulse. A strong one, though.

Five For Fighting's "America Town" is a swirling musical journey, touching on themes such as divorce ("Love Song"), idolization ("Michael Jordan"), and the desire to belong ("Superman"). Lead singer John Ondrasik's lyrics are sung powerfully and effectively, with a solid backing band and well-crafted lyrics. The best feature of this particular effort from Ondrasik is the diversity of each individual song. Although some songs go nowhere fast ("Out Of Love", "Alright"), the majority of the disc offers a vast musical variety, from the crunching guitars and haunting piano riffs of "Michael Jordan", to the gorgeous melody and orchestration of "Jainy", the album's highlight. Songs like "Bloody Mary" and "Superman" have some of the best melodies in a long time. Other standouts include the upbeat "Something About You" and the shuddering "Boat Parade". A very fine effort overall with potential Grammy nominations.
