NMC # 95 RICK SPRINGFIELD/RICHIE SAMBORA

[RJhog (Admin)]

I'm subbing for Scott this week.  Enjoy.

Rick Springfield

(Songs For The End Of The World)

This CD was released with 4 different album covers.  The one above is the Best Buy version that I picked up.  Let me just say that I'm loving this slice of Melodic Power Pop Rock.  It's absolutely fantastic.  There isn't a bad track on this album.  One of the 5 songs I have posted is my Song Of The Year at this point.  See if you can figure out which one it is.  

1. Wide Awake

2. Our Ship's Sinking

3. I Found You

4. Depravity

5. One Way Street

Richie Sambora

(Aftermath Of The Lowdown)

I did not like this at all the first time through, except for the opening track, which is the first song I have posted here.  But I've listened to it a couple of more times and maybe I was a bit harsh.  It's actually pretty good.  Definitely not album of the year, but probably an honorable mention footnote for my Top 10 list this year.  I know you guys don't care for Richie, but give it a chance.

1. Burn That Candle Down

2. Every Road Leads Home To You

3. Taking A Chance On The Wind

4. Seven Years Gone

5. Learning How To Fly With A Broken Wing

Your loss.  You need to step out of your comfort box and listen to it today.  And by the way, please tell me what your bonus tracks are and if they are any good...when you listen.

Okie dokie. To the last part. Can't mess up my listening feng shui.

[RJhog (Admin)]

I checked on Amazon, can't tell which bonus tracks you are getting from that.

[Jon]

My cover is green..I think. It's in the stack.

Rick Springfield--Middle thumbs for now Listened to this today and it really didn't spark for me until halfway through. It does rock more than the previous release, but nothing really got my juices flowing until track 7. Maybe it'll grow on me. As for bonus tracks...I didn't get any?
