I was excited to see the new CD released, but what a let down. These are three of the most talented musicians to come along in a long time, but what a total misuse of their talent. This was an CD of ballad songs. Nowhere in this CD do we get a chance to see the talent of the three. It's like there trying to prove they can sing. It would have been nice to hear an uptempo song somewhere on the album. I do not know what they were thinking or why Allison Krause would let this leave the studio. If they don't want to play bluegrass fine, but at least don't journey to far from what they are best at. I bought the CD as soon as it came out, listened to it three times and sold it back to the store for something worth hearing. Nickel Creek, you let your fans from the first album down bigtime, and I am a big fan.
