I am too much of a fan of Lonestar in the past as their songs have become super commerical, cheesy, annoying, and lack any depth, which makes the lead singer sound whiny....

That being said...this is a great CD. It has fast songs like "Don't lets talk about Lisa" which is pretty good. But I prefer the slow songs.

"Amazed" was obviously a huge hit, and rightfully so.

"Tell her" and "I gotta find you" are great songs that make me wonder why they stopped making good music like this. "I gotta find you" is my personal fave on the whole CD.

Lonely Grill- the title track is a good song too, with a beautiful guitar sound.

This CD is great. Not all tracks are listenable in my opinion, but there are some golden songs to be found here. Also, not every track is instrumental. There are about 3-4 of those on this CD.

The songs that stuck out the most to me were:

*Rise*
*Melody Calls* - love the ending...
*Catch The Sun* - very catchy. first song I ever heard from them. heard it on last.fm
*Firesuite* - decent instrumental introduction to the CD.
*The Man Who Told Everything* - i just love this song. period.
*Darker* - very vibe-y and my favorite here. has a unique sway to the beat and lyric delivery that i eat up every time.

Avoid *Valley*, *Break Me Gently* and *A House*.

Recommended especially if you like melancholy vocals and mysterious production.

4.3 stars.

This would be the ULTIMATE Faith Hill CD, except for a few minor setbacks:
Setback No. 1: It doesn't have "Wild One" on it.
No. 2: The rockier version of "Piece of My Heart" just doesn't fit Faith.
No. 3: It doesn't have any songs from the "It Matters To Me" CD, which is one of her best.
Now that the setbacks are out of the way, it's time to focus on the good parts of the album.
For starters, it's the only place besides the Pearl Harbor Soundtrack where you can get "There You'll Be".
It also has her hits from "Breathe" and "Faith", except for the duets with Tim McGraw (Another minor setback).
It has "Over The Rainbow" on it, from the Oscars. Great thing to have.
All in all, I'd buy this CD, for the remixes and "There You'll Be" -- but if you're looking for a Greatest Hits with ALL of Faith's hits on it, this isn't the CD for you.

If only for their cover of "Lovesong". The way she sings it sends shivers throughout my body (not that the original doesn't, I just happen to like this one too). Like most, I love "Breed" and "Vulcan". I do not however perticularly care for their cover of "How Soon Is Now?". And I'm not much for the 1 or 2 other songs that sound uber pop either. These days most will by a cd for 1 song they really like, well I'm here to tell you this cd will have at least a few songs that will make you crave listening to them repeatedly, so it's worth the cash in my book:)

The title of the last song on the CD says it all.  It doesn't get better than this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Give this CD one listen and you'll join the ranks of those of us who can't understand why this guy remains the most underrated singer/songwriter in the history of modern music.

Then go see him live. Just be prepared to have one heck of a good time!!!

This is one of the few cd's that I can play from the first cut to the last.  If I ignore the cursing (sorry, I'm old) I'm good to listen to this all day.  Unfortunate that this cd didn't get much radio play, but it doesn't matter.  Well worth purchasing... I think I need a new copy!

Ok before I start ,At some point in this review i will give Information on how you can Purchase Stainds First CD "Tormented".It is a Very Rare CD and it has the Origional Version of "Mudshovel on it...............................Now as far as this cd I was very Dissapointed because it is alot softer than anything they have done. I think they made this to get more "Chicks" at there shows. But Ill go Track by Track.--#1-"Pay To Play"-4 stars-Very Heavy Riff,good all around song.--#2-"How About You"-2 Stars-The reason for this is the Line about him Selling his Soul to get where he is.--#3-"So Far Away"-4 Stars-I cant believe what im going to say about this song. But If you listen to the Guitar it will remind you of a song and  you won't be able to point it out. Well im going to tell you what the song is. Sarah McClauchlin's "Life is A Mystery" But the Lyrics in this one are very good.--#4-"Yesterday"-3 Stars-The song starts out with a cool little Drum Beat. Then The Verse comes in and its awesome...But then here comes the Chorus to screw it up.--#5-"FRAY"-5 Stars-WOW,this song is amazing. You reamember how the songs on the Dysfunction Album made you feel when the Chorus's Kicked in. This song has the same Effect. This is the best track on the CD.--#6-"Zoe Jane"-4.5 Stars-This is a Very Beautiful song. Aaron Wrote it about his Daughter. It brings a tear to my eye everytime I here it Because I can relate to what he is saying.--#7-"Fill ME Up"-3.5 Stars-This song has a Kick ass Riff in it. The but When Aaron sings it sounds like hes Bored or something. It kind of Screws up the whole feel of the Music.--#8-"Layne"-4 Stars-This song is about Layne Staley (The Singer for Alice in Chains who Passed Last Year)This song sounds Exactly like An Alice in Chains song. Very Worth Listening to.--#9-"Falling Down"-1 Star-Very Sloppy and Boring. Nothing about this song that I liked.--#10-3 Stars-This song Starts with a very 80's Metal Ballad Guitar lick but it doesnt last. Decent song but couldve have been better. Now if youve Read this far I will now tell you where you can Purchase Stainds Very First CD "Tormented"Its a very Rare Cd that you cant purchase in stores and I never could figure out why. BUt the reason for that is the Cover art is pretty controversial. Even Marylin Manson cd's cant touch it. But anyways just go to Stainds website and you'll Find it in the Staind Direct Store. Its a very good cd...it sounds alot like Tools "Undertow" Album in parts.--#11-"Tonight-3.5 Stars-This isn't a bad song either. I like the Use of the Guitar harmonic in the Versus. Kind of reminds me of Puddle of Mudds "Blurry"--#12-"Could It Be"-1 Star-This is Staind displaying there ability to Bore you to Death.--#13-"Blow Away"-4 Stars-Very Well Written and Structured. Probably Staind at there most Creative point.--#14-"Intro"-3 Stars-This is an Alright song. There is some String Arrangements that make it sound pretty good. There is a cool Echo effect on Aarons Voice...........................................This concludes my Review or Should I say Opinion on the Album. IF YOU DIDNT CATCH WHERE YOU CAN PURCHASE STAINDS VERY RARE "TORMENTED"CD,Then I guess you need to go over the Review again because I didn't Want Lazy ppl to know where to get it. Thats why I didn't tell where at the Begginning or end of this Review. But over all if your a staind fan Buy 14 Shades of Grey but youll probably be a little dissapointed.

I'm giving this 5 stars for one song alone: "The Riddle". The lyrics contains more memorable imagery and phrases than a hundred other "pop" songs (but they do not contain "Babylon 5" or "Manor Baron" unless you mishear it!) The tune itself is insanely catchy. The odd lyrics, according to accounts, were written in a hurry during an early draft as mere filler, and were never replaced. Kershaw has admitted that they were wholly meaningless. The rest of the songs aren't bad (especially "Wild Horses", "Roses", and "Don Quixote"), but I am not sure I would have purchased the CD on the strength of these other songs if "The Riddle" were not present.

Jesus Messiah, that is all I have to say.  I only bought this CD for this one song, so that is all I listen too.  I might get to the other songs in the future, and thank you for the program Cloud Player.

... this is DEFINATELY the CD you need to buy... NOW !!  I paid almost twice what Amazon is asking AND IT WAS WELL WORTH IT !!  Before I knew what a "Stray Cat" was, I was diggin' these tunes.  If you get this and like it (believe me: you WILL !!), go to [the website] and get a modern version of Johnny, Dorsey, and Paul's sound... but with their own twist.  Plus, Paul is on the cover of their latest CD, along with Cordell Jackson herself !!
Anykindahow...  From the minute you put this CD in your car, you'd better watch that lead foot !!  It doesn't get any better than this.

Only 1 really great song on here, which is the tittle track, however it was worth it! I am old fashioned and do not use the mpg player! Lost this album to my ex in our divorce, nice to hear it again!!

Like the editorial review, I found this compilation to be lacking enough meat to make it a must-have.  The title track is a snore.
A few other mediocre tracks leave me with the impression that while Sara has certainly proven herself vocally, she still has some growing to do as an artist.
Still, a bad apple or two doesn't spoil the whole bunch. While tracks like 'Rockin Horse' and 'Big Cry' are skip-worthy, you'll want to play other songs over and over again.
 'Perfect',alone, is reason enough to buy this album....the most fun, upbeat song to come around in quite a while.  Sara's vocals couldn't be more 'Perfect' here.
 Many other's reviews here point out other stand-out songs, so I'll skip to one that seems to have slipped under the radar:
'Tonight'.  Sara belts out this slow-building, lonely hearts ballad with a raw soulfulness that does the SUPERB lyrics justice. No need for the overdone instrumentals in this one.  Lyrically, vocally, instrumentally, 'Tonight' is pure gold.
More of this on your next CD, Sara!
Overall, I'd give 'Restless' 3 1/2 stars.  Room for improvement, but still a very good overall CD.

You just have to listen to this CD...people complain about some of the songs being "obscure"...16 of the 21 tracks were Top 20 hits...maybe not the tired stuff you hear on the local "oldies" station, but this series bases a song's validity more on merit than anything else.
