| This album brings out the rock in a big way. While not as readily accessible as The Madness of the Crows, It's Never Enough grows on you quickly. Standout tracks include "Ball & Chain," "Jasmine," "My Defense," and "Don't Do It Again." The fantastic songwriting of John Warne is readily apparent here, as he tackles romantic relationships from all angles (though other subjects slip there way in as well). Lyrical hooks run rampant, and you'll find yourself singing them often as you go through your day.
I give this album high praises, but it doesn't quite match up to The Madness of the Crowds. Some of the songs blend together, mostly because of the similar guitar tones. "Seaside" and "Helen Burns" break this up in a fine way though. It rates an 8: great and definitely worth the purchase, but not as fantastic as a 9, nor perfect like a 10. |
