Measure Of A Man - Clay Aiken

Advantages: Contains only 11 songs
Disadvantages: lacks originality

...and again Bo has too fight against the music, the background singers and loads of jingles. "It feels like agony " Bo sings and it doesn't only feel so, it certainly sounds so ! This is another one written by Kara DioGuardi and Marti Frederiksen who seem to be the worst offenders on this album. The style just doesn't suit Bo's voice and this is surely one of the worst tracks of the album and I do not think that many people will remember Bo in 10 years time if he keeps on making songs like this . 7. Hold on to me This song is written by Jess Cates, Dennis Matkosky ( Clay Aiken) and Lindy Robbins (Liza Minelly). Another pop ballad that seems to be a clone of the last one. It is boring, unoriginal and , again, Bo's voice sounds forced, fighting through a bit of falsetto towards the end of the song. "You can't remember who you're supposed... Read review

Advantages: Different styles come together.Hairs stand on end
Disadvantages: Could be heavier like the last album.Possibly not as good as the last one but good enough

...-Revenge is on the cards here and it's saying that even though what you say gets to me don't be surprised if I get back at you!A song with great feeling and words, makes you feel as if there is a real bad situation happening. 3.Beautiful-Hmmm not really to sure but some 'beautiful' lady has effected his and other mens life and you should watch out for her because she has vile instincts. 4.Say I-Mankind.What is it?A misconception that the world breathes and which we call man are the words in the song.

Man is it real?No because they lie.So just 'say i'. 5.Wrong Way-Someone possibly at deaths doorstep, suddenly realising what if i dine with my life?They would like to think that he has helped someone through life.The chance he didn...

Advantages: Original Indie music at its finest, Superb Follow-up
Disadvantages: Yet To Be Found!

...An excellent follow up album that is to be appreciated by all Indie-Rock music fans alike. The album is based on lifelong experiences of the band and the opening song 'Song For Clay (Disappear Here)' is as good as it gets. Not many albums can claim to have all of their songs worthy as being released as singles, but 'A Weekend in the City' can definitely do that. The outstanding 'The Prayer' hit the UK in fine style and from personal experiences of Live Performances it is definitely up there with 'Banquet' and 'Helicopter' from the previous album. A definite recommended buy for any fan of typical indie music. Recommended songs: *Song For Clay (Disappear Here) *The Prayer *I Still Remember *Hunting For Witches. After listening to these songs I'm sure you will want to buy the album straight the way.... Read review
