Customer Reviews

Disappointing
I can't quite work this album out. In essence, it's similar to Sunrise Over Sea, with the same mix of rock/folk/blues/reggae. But for some reason it's nowhere near as good as that album.
This seems like John Butler Lite to me, even though it's overproduced compared to previous efforts. The faster songs lack energy, the slower numbers lack beauty. The vocal melodies and choruses are weak compared to SOS. Funky Tonight is probably the only track here that would have made it on to that album if it had been written then.
The long track, Gov Did Nothing, is forgettable and has none of the excitement of the longer stuff on Three, and some of the lyrics on other tracks are verging on the embarrassing - "beautiful woman, so sexy"!
It's not a bad album at all, and newcomers to JBT will probably like it, but unless you're into mainstream stuff then make sure you have the first three albums and the live ones, which are life-enhancing.

Ok, but lacking something
This album is a disappointment - I have only had it for one day, and already only listen to 3 songs: Daniella, Devil Running, and Fire in the Sky. The other songs are mostly dull due to poor lyrics and uninspiring melodies, which is a shame because Sunrise Over Sea is full of such beautiful, emotive and clever songs. I am a big fan of John Butler Trio, and would recommend buying the album if you are too - maybe I need to give some of the other songs a bit longer to shine?.......but it is definately lacking some of the raw spirit and individuality of previous albums.

Foot tappin' Great
A great follow up to the fantastic Sunrise over Sea album. This outing is more produced without taking away from the rawness of their sound.

John Butler's guitar riffs strike a punch from your speakers.The band's musicianship and ability to get you dancing are captured brilliantly.

There is a mixture of influences from the reggae of Groovin' Slowly, acoustic folk of Losing You, a great political rock song Gov Did Nothin', and grunge flavoured Devil Running.

Buy this Cd, play it loud and dance!
