Let Me Tell You Something| Posted July 06, 2007
I've always liked RSJ's music. Maybe it's just her Aussie accent, her wild wardrobe, or the passion she uses in her music.
As usual, this project opens with three rocking tracks. The middle of the CD seems to drag a little and tobyMac can't even lift track "Thank You" up to being a great song. I did like track 5 "Love Being Loved By You" though.
"Forgive Me" and "Lest I Forget" were good ballads to balance out the project.
Overall I liked this project and it stayed true to standard RSJ form.
Granted, I did write this review after listening to this CD only one time, so YMMV. Sometimes after multiple listens, my opinion of a whole CD project changes, so let's hope it does on this one too.
