Music reviews of Twice the Speed of Life
Music Review: Incredible...Rare for a First Time Listen.
Rating: 5 Stars
I haven't yet entered a title for this review, as I'm gonna take you along and listen to the cd for a first time and give you my comments. At the end, I will rate it. Of course, my views will change as i listen to the cd more. But, I want you to see what I feel my first time listening to it, it might help your decision on buying it. Now, I bought this CD because I loved "Something More" and "Baby Girl"...so I might be a bit biased on those two ;)
1. "Something More" - Now, as I said, I bought the cd for this and another song. Here goes. Cool guitar intro haha. yeah. "Come on!" Funny, it sounds exactly like it does on radio. Of course im kidding. The chorus to this song can relate to anyone who is looking for that bit extra in life, whether it is a person, your job, or just figuring out what's missing. Just about anyone can turn this song up loud and sing along in the car with your hands out the window...if you're not driving that is. 10/10. Loves it.
2. "Baby Girl" - I'm a bit biased on this song too. The meaning behind it is really good. It's about a girl who is wanting to make it in the buisness, and is struggling "Dear mom and dad please send money, I'm so broke it aint funny..." In the end, she sings about how she's waiting for that day that "Dear mom and dad, I'll send money, I'm so rich that it aint funny..." Along the way, it talks about Hollywood and all the people in it, and how it is a long way. Wonderfully inspiring song. 10/10.
3. "Hello" - First time hearing the song. Pretty cool melody in the intro. I like the lyrics, they're sweet and soft. The kind that paints a picture in your mind. Her voice sounds very beautiful in this song. "It's not goodbye-It's hello" Overall a pretty good song. 8/10.
4. "Tennessee" - A typical country intro, and this song is definately country sounding. Not a bad thing. About finding true love and not letting it slip away. This song is a little typical. But I like it. 7/10.
5. "Just Might (Make Me Believe)" - I heard this song on the CMA awards and loved it. Just occured to me. I really love the lyrics to this song. It makes me really think. "If you can look in my eyes and tell me we'll be alright. If you promise you'll never leave, you'll just might make me believe." To me, it's about a girl who is thinkin down on everything and is down at this point in her life. And then if her husband/boyfriend will just tell her it's all gonna work out, she might just believe.
6. "Down in Mississippi (Up to No Good) - Loooove the intro!! Haha I love this. Sounds like a real fun song. Yeah it is. Mothers will be able to relate to this. Washing dishes, clothes, floors, and mostly without help. And she's fed up and wants to get away for the weekend down in Mississippi. This song just might be another one of my favorites. haha its really good. 10/10.
7. "Fly Away" - The lyrics in the beginning are pretty strong. "I'm so sick and tired of being told what's good for me. People got lots of ideas, of who I'm supposed to be." This song is mainly about dreaming big, no matter what people tell you what to do. Really sweet song, with a catchy melody. 9/10.
8. "Speed Of Life" - Title track. Should be good. Upbeat tempo. Always good for a first listen. This song is really cool. I really don't know what to say. We really are traveling at "Twice the Speed of Life" ... let me stop to say that I appreciate who writes their own music. And these lyrics are impressive. Incredible 10/10.
9. "Small Town Jericho" - After listening, it's about all the memories you pass up when you leave and how it's hard to say goodbye. Anyone who has ever had a good memory should be able to relate to this song 10/10.
10. "Time Time Time" - I like the guitar in the beginning. It doesn't really sound too country-ish. That's another thing I like about them. They aren't 100% country. This song is about how life will get better...at least from listening the first time. 9/10.
11. "Stand Back Up" - Last song. Hopefully a great way to end a pretty good CD. A slower song. Wow, this song is good!! It's about learning to stand back up after being kicked down. She's saying "Take your best shot I will stand back up" not exact lyrics of course, but to sum up the song, that's what it's saying.
Overall, I give it 5 stars. The entire CD gives off a good message, versus more than some of that "music" you hear on the radio nowadays. It's refreshing to hear a CD where I can listen to every track again and again. Hope you found this review helpful. I think it's well worth the 12 bucks.
Description of Twice the Speed of Life
Flexfield5A surprise hit in 2004 and 2005, this Atlanta-based threesome arrived on the scene at precisely the right time--when country trios (Dixie Chicks, Rascal Flatts, and to a lesser extent, Trick Pony and SheDaisy) had proved themselves in the marketplace. Like those acts, Sugarland trade on solid and sometimes intricate harmonies and a killer lead vocalist. In this case, the full-tilt Jennifer Nettles plays Natalie Maines to Kristen Hall and Kristian Bush's Emily and Martie. And while it would be lovely to hear another member of the trio out front occasionally, Nettles, a deep-dish Southerner who knows no one-syllable words ("air" is "aye-er"), is a commanding presence. Stylistically, the group mixes it up, from the folk-rock of Hall and Bush's backgrounds to the driving pop that dominates much of contemporary country radio; thematically, the songs largely revolve around restlessness, the need to escape restrictions and find one's self, and the faith that things will work out. "Baby Girl," the hit about an itinerant musician writing home for money and emotional connectedness, is but one of several surefire winners here, which include "Something More," a mid-tempo quest for a more meaningful life, and "Tennessee," in which a radio request line rescues true love. The quieter songs ("Fly Away," "Hello") are no less well written and affecting, even as the barnburning "Down in Mississippi (Up to No Good)," about housewife ennui and riverboat gambling, falls embarrassingly flat. Does this triad have staying power? Well, just as their name implies, they're a little too sweet to equal the Chicks' gravitas, but there's no denying they've got energy to burn. --Alanna Nash
