Each as Good as its Predecessor

It's always a chance when a star tries to bring back a series after several years have passed.  I enjoyed Die Hard as John McClane takes on an office building full of terrorists holding hostages, one of whom is his wife Holly. The second film rivaled the first and seriously made me wonder about traveling by plane. By the time the fourth movie came around, so many years had passed, I went to see it with some doubt.  Boy was I wrong.  Big John still has it and the fourth movie was as good as the rest, if not better. By then, wife Holly was no longer the endangered heroine and that title had passed to John's daughter. Good scripts, good effects, and Bruce Willis make the entire series one to watch again and again when you need a safe violence-fix.

This is PoS's second acoustic disc, and it's every bit as brilliant as their first.  Some tunes, like Chain Sling, stay pretty close to the original, but others like Stress! from Entropia, they turn into loose, funky versions that in some ways are more interesting than their straighter counterparts.  Dio's Holy Diver is covered as well, and once again the band messes with it, which I personally love.  I'll say this too: as many lineup changes as this band has had, Daniel never fails to find pretty extraordinary talent.  Of particular concern was how the new members would handle vocals, given how truly strong previous members have been in this area.  No worries - the new guys can all sing and don't really miss a beat.  This one goes in regular rotation for me.

You won't be dissapointed with this collection if you bought the first, same excellent clarity and picture quality.

I am thoroughly enjoying this CD. It follows on beautifully from the first one, and gives me a lot of pleasure every time I listen to it. I like the range of songs, and about the only thing I would change is that there be some more group songs. Other than that, I love it.

As good as all the others in this great series.

This album is certainly on par with the previous album from last year.
After buying the first album as a deal of the day, I've listened to it over and over, and got excited when the new album was announced. Needless to say, this album does not disappoint, and I am very pleased with it.

Our whole family listened to the first album, basically on repeat, for the past 2 years.  So, we were a little concerned about hte second album.  Bottom line: it's incredible.  It feels like a more complete "album" - there is great flow between songs and consistent theme.  That being said, a couple of the songs off the first album (i.e., Rivers & Roads) are so good we rank them among some of our all time favorite.  Not sure there are any single songs off of this album that feel as magnificent, but we're still listening to it on repeat.

I have played 1st and second and now third edition.  They have each gotten better.  This is a bit fiddly for Dracula.  He manages a few different piles of cards and has to place them on a track.  It seems to be well balanced between the hunters and Dracula.  It is still a somewhat confusing game, not unlike it predecessors.  But it is an engrossing memorable experience once you understand the rules.

The Sounds come back with another great album. The group put out another quality album filled with beautiful songs. Not straying too far from their trademark to alienate fans, The Sounds explore new territory and please their fans at the same time.

A continuation of the story presented in volume one so, just as good as that one.

This is the second album from The National Bank, and it is just as good as the first.  Great musicians, and great vocals from Thomas Dybdahl.  This is pop/rock with strong jazz and electronic influences.  As with the first album, it is easy to let the music distract you from the lyrics, but the lyrics are worth your attention.  I think Family may be The National Bank's best song, narrowly beating out Tolerate from the first album.  Family is about being there to unobtrusively support someone dealing with a loss.  The album closes with Make It Burn, which includes the album's title in the lyrics.  Make it Burn starts out innocently enough but consistently builds momentum to give the album a powerful finish.  There is a lot to like and enjoy here.

4.5 stars.  Nearly as good as the first one and in much the same vein.  Well done.

The second album is not at all a disappointment. It is hard to compete with your great first album. This is just as good and uplifting !

This album, like other reviewers have said, is just as wonderful as the first.  It is so easy to listen to.  I am a grandmother, but their music is inspiring and keeps me moving.

Great album, as always, shame it's their last.

Reminds me a lot of some of their older work, excellent ending to a superb run.

This was almost as good as their first album.  Several of the songs sounded a little darker, Maybe a bit on the "negative" side, but I still liked it.

really enjoy it from start to finish and over multiple listens, which is saying a lot these days. not as gritty as their early work but retains the soul and realness they've always had with an updated sound. recommended.
