Many other reviews state that this CD is "missing something" or is "too much like other artists", but I don't believe either of these opinions. Every track on this record is original and has something different to offer. Yes, it is true that I was, as many others were, lured in by the catchy and overplayed singles, but this is one of those few instances where I've actually ended up listening to and liking all of the songs on this CD. The rock stylings along with heartfelt piano melodies are one of the finer attributes of the songs, while the thoughtful lyrics add to the emotion and experience.This album is among my favorites and has been ever since I got it. I highly recommend it to anyone.
