The new album is quite good and you are right....really not a weak track out of them all. I had in the cd mix a few weeks ago and was loving the ever-loving mess outta it. Worthwhile to pick up!

I was interested ihis first but still haven't gotten that. I imagine it's good.

I like them quite a bit. I got interested when I heard them play their songs at work all the time.

yeah, I am a big fan. I love the piano. May I suggest Keane's "Hopes and Fears" if you like piano and Five For Fighting.

Was FFF's first cd good? If so, I should pick it up.

AH Keane! I keep pondering whether or not to pick up their cd. I saw it was real cheap at Target (like 8.00) so i might have'ta do that.

they suck. they sound like everyone else. their lyrics are cliched bullshit, and their singer is unoriginal. boring, boring, boring. please clean your ears out with rubbing alcohol and q-tips.

Just because I'm anal...but Five For Fighting isn't a group. It's just one dude. John something or other. He's got musicians who record the music for the albums and a touring band, but the "they" you guys keep talking about is really just "him".

And I've always had a grudge against him because he pretty much took the music for one of Angie Aparo's hooks, modified it a tad, then used it as the hook for his oh-so-popular Superman. And to this day denies that he was influenced by Angie on that song, though he says he's a fan of Angie's.

*insert appropriate PM Dawn lyric about acting like I'm not the one that inspired y'all here*

Sometimes folks think that even when they aren't inspired by something they are. I think the dude from F4F os John Ondrisnialk (or close to that) . I only own one Angie Aparo album. Why sucess follows someone and not another is a fickle thing. His stuf is as good if not all together better....
