FORMAT: CD
ARTIST: Plumb
TITLE: Candycoatedwaterdrops
01. "Stranded" sounds really familiar--according to Wikipedia, it was a hit for Jennifer Paige, even though Plumb recorded it first.
02. "God-Shaped Hole," ironically, is probably the most radio-friendly track on this album. It reminds me of those songs from mid-90s female singers like Paige and Sheryl Crow (not people like Britney Spears, mind you). Plumb goes acoustic on this track, unlike her other songs which tend to have heavier instruments, and "God-Shaped Hole" is all the better for it.
03. I like the song "Solace." It starts out a little weird, but by the time you get to the chorus it's much better.
04. The song "Damaged" is absolutely amazing. If anyone's seen the movie Brokedown Palace, it was used on the soundtrack (from what I heard, it was played towards the end). It's a bit more trance-like than the others, but even if that's not your thing it's still an excellent track. (Side note: Plumb decided to stay in the music industry after receiving a letter from a fan, telling her that this song helped her through her own troubles.)
05. "Candycoatedwaterdrops" was fine until a random child came on at the end and started singing. I don't know why this is done sometimes; unless it's a group of children chanting something, it's usually more annoying than cute.
06. Overall, I thought this album was definitely more radio-friendly than Plumb (the self-titled debut), but the lyrics have also taken a change for the lighter, so that's to be expected. It's a decent album, and worth a listen! If there's one song you hear from this CD, make sure it's "Damaged."
