Not what's expected

"For those fans who have fallen in love with past songs such as Lust a Prima Vista, Sunsets and Car Crashes, The Tide, and so many others this album will tend to be lacking. While I wouldn't go as far as to say that The Spill Canvas has "Sold Out", this album has taken a direct turn towards pleasing a more mainstream crowd and has less of a unique sound as they have had in the past. While there are a couple of great songs such as Connect the Dots, which I would say is one of their best songs, the rest of the album is just mediocre at best. Even some great sounding songs such as Lullaby take a turn for the worse when melodies of trumpets and violins are incorporated into the mix and the lyrics across the entire album are a disappointment. In all honesty I was so excited to buy this album and now that I have it I barely listen to it. While The Spill Canvas may have gained a more popular fan base I feel for the rest of us, the ones who belt our hearts out to so many of their songs, that this album will just be merely one or two more songs added to our old playlists and nothing more..."
