Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions
Product Description
"Nathanson has offered an album so solid, so addicting, so enduring on repeat listens that it will quickly become the soundtrack of your late summer."
Blogcritics
Amazon.com
With rapturous romanticism and over-the-top, heart-on-sleeve emotion, Matt Nathanson can't decide whether he wants to be U2's Bono (particularly on the opening "Car Crash") or John Mayer (with whom he's toured as an opening act). Though his roots are in the folk coffeehouse, he plainly has his ears aimed toward the rock arena, as the propulsive "To the Beat of Our Noisy Hearts" and "Detroit Waves" attest. "Wedding Dress" sounds like it's aspiring to become a first-dance standard, while the sensuality of "Come On Get Higher" suggests more stripped-down delights. A couple of lines here compete for the album's cheesiest: "C'mon let's make this dream that's barely half-awake come true" (from "Heartbreak World") and "What happened to feeling cheap radio songs?" (from "Bulletproof Weeks"). --Don McLeese

Great CD - Reviewed on 2008-10-23

WOW! What an impressive cd! This music is great to chill to and relax. I had never heard of Matt Nathanson until I heard Sugarland cover "Come On Get Higher." I thought it was a great song, but never had a desire to check him out more. Then I started seing his cd around and gaining in popularity. I took a chance, and with the price, who could resist? I was highly impressed with my buy.
Matt gets things rolling with "Car Crash"-an excellent choice to start the album. The album quickly rolls into "Come On Get Higher," which is one of the best tracks on the album. Things keep rolling on the next few tunes, but start to drag with "Wedding Dress." Things get amped up in "To The Beat of Our Noisy Hearts." Other stand-out tracks are "Detriot Waves," "Still," and "Sooner Surrender." Closing the album is the beautiful, rolling, acoustic and piano-driven "All We Are." Excellent choice to end the album and also a standout track on the album.
This is a great album, give Matt a chance! You won't be dissappointed!
