Customer Reviews

So unbelievably beautiful it brings tears to your eyes
Like most reviewers here, I came to this album by chance or accident and as always, it's so wonderful when you take a chance on an album that turns out to SO fit your music taste. 'Five for Fighting' seemed to be a band name that cropped up all the time on amazon wish lists that I chanced to look at or they'd appear as a recommendation that I'd ignore. Then I saw the album and took a chance which I will never regret. Instantly likeable with noticably cheerful melodies and interesting lyrics this album really is beautiful, I still feel like I'm getting to know this album even though I've probably listened to it 30 times, something new always stands out. Tracks like 'Dying' and 'If God made you' are full of emotion without sounding over-emotional or sickly - wonderful combinations of melody and interesting vocals full of character. Take a chance on this album like I did and I'm sure you won't regret it.

Love it!
My coming accross this album was down to pure luck! Saw the album on sale for £5 and decided "what the heck", and bough it. Five for Fighting's "Battle for everything" has since become one of my favourite ever CD's. It's pure magic! John Ondrasik is a masterful song writer, and it's his simple, yet emossion filled lyrics that make this album so fantastic. The best track on the album, in my opinion, is "100 years" - beautiful, makes you really appreciate every moment! "Battle for Everything" is a rare gem. ***** - SO BUY IT!

excellent!!!!!!!
Five For Fighting have achieved what might have seemed impossible and produced an album, which excels their beautiful 2000 offering, America Town.
John Ondrasik has a spectacular voice with an amazing range and is accompanied by incredibly beautiful guitar and piano melodies. His lyrics are captivating; genuinely touching and flow like poetry.
There are a diverse selection of tracks to hear- from the fantastic, almost eerie, tale told in The Devil in the Wishing Well, the funky, upbeat Angels and Girlfriends and the kooky fantasy of a song- Disneyland. To the sublime, incredibly haunting melody of 100 Years (my favourite track). Which is guaranteed to melt your heart and bring out goose bumps every time you listen. I also have a soft spot for Dying, a song that captures the exact feelings of a love lost.
This is without doubt the best + most unique album I have bought this year and I love it more each time I listen. Highly recommended - a must have!
