The Good Album
E1 Entertainment
Grade – B
I am an avid fan of rock music and “The Good Album” has a lot to offer in this genre. However, I am in love with about only ½ of the album, as some of it diverts to closely to the pop and whimsical pop-punk genre if you ask me. Okay, “Dude… That’s Freaking Awesome!” is fun, but it’s a diversion from the meat of the album, much like “Good Luck With the Girls.” However, as a child of the 80’s I did like the spoof “Good Times.”
I think I am actually convincing myself that this is a better album than I initially thought. Still, I would say the rock songs like “Surface of the Sun” and “Crashing Cars” are my favorites. I also shared the song “Pretty Famous” with all my fanatical American Idol friends. So there are some strong social messages within the music as well.
The band is headed up by Ian Eskelin who is also a well-known and sought after producer, making him a very busy person. Nonetheless, he put everything he had into this new project. With that said check out “The Good Album” and see what flavor you favor. Take a visit to http://www.AllStarUnited.com for more information.
