Life By Misadventure

Awesome Savage him and me and you always.

I love his voice. There are songs on this album that feel like they came directly from my thoughts and he makes them sound the same way I feel them.

was expecting to download one after another...like the last album...but, underwhelmed this go around. sorry to say.

By definiton I'm not a fan of much new music, but I give a lot a shot—out of curiousity and a desire to find a great modern-day artist. No disrespect intended, but this sounds like your standard outlier kid, with the big burly voice from (insert name of any realityTV singing show)—who "makes every song his" when he performs it. The boy has talent and can sing, but the songs are basic and unmemorable. This sounds like a lot of other generic stuff being pumped out these days—and guys like this owe a lot to a guy like NTB's Bear Rinehart. NeedToBreathe has (sadly) also gone this basic route, but their stronger albums "The Outsiders", "The Reckoning" and parts of "Rivers In The Wasteland" feature this style of music—with superior songwriting and and authenticity, opposed to this paint (sing)-by-numbers songwriting here.

Not this time. Old music way better.

I really like how their music is good and also clean. Nowadays songs are explicit and I like that this artist isn’t in this album

Treat yourself to the best voice in music today

COVID-19 changed a lot of lives, and threw a lot of extra challenges at everyone. This album is clearly a product of people going through too much, and trying to find new ways to deal with life. Funny thing is, R&B decided to lighten and hollow out their sound. Nowhere near as raw or powerful. I take this as the guys suddenly losing their foundations, and seeking a new place for their music to come from. Like all of us, time will tell of this is a temporary glitch, or permanent situation. Meanwhile, I’ll enjoy this album for what it is.

I had such high expectations for this release. To be fair maybe that was the issue, I had too high of expectations? I just didn’t feel any real emotion here. The songs felt flat. I’ve read some reviews criticizing those of us who are critical and suggesting we need to accept new styles, that’s not what’s here. I’m all for artists expanding, but not by sacrificing quality and emotion. It really feels like he’s just going through the motions. I really wanted to love this, I still do. I listen and want to feel something, but it’s just not there. I’ll have to hope for and wait for his next try.

Seems like a simple album/some cliche “personal” touches but still would rather listen to him that 99% of the garbage singers and rappers today
