 Not Bad For 1st Attempt in 12 Years! May 7, 2008

This album is a an excellent attempt to start where they left off. Tracvis Warren's voice is eerily familiar. The songs are above average, but none have potential to be a hit single. The best song on the album is track 8, which I feel would be their only shot for radio play. There are some other great tracks on the album, but none that will me memorable. The lyrics are ok, but you will never be able to recreate the lyrical genius of Shannon Hoon. He was a true poet. Overall, I am pleased with the album, but on their next one I would like them to return to the sounds of old. I thought the album was a little too safe for me. They need to take more risks on the next one. Nice to have you guys back though.
Close, but still enjoyable May 26, 2008

First, I dig the CD. The more I listen to it, the more I like it. BUT. Travis needs to let the music play more often. I don't think there is a musical solo longer than 3 seconds on the whole cd (intros not withstanding). The lyrics are shy of the high expectations Shannon left us.
BUT, it's still a whole heck of a lot of fun, and some(times) songs are pretty dang catchy. I wish they'd make "For My Friends" a single, though, as it has the potential to be a summer anthem. I just don't think "Wishing Well" has the hook, or the musicality to appeal to the masses enough to really be a single. Honestly, it's probably my least favorite song on the CD. With the title track, Sometimes, and Cheetum Street being tops on my list.
Oh, and their concert was all kinds of cool. So much energy.

Ok so...this album is good. Nothing like BM use to be though. So I am just making sure you all aren't blind yourselves and keeping both eyes open to other artist. If you are a true blind melon fan you will find that Quicksilver's new CD "Live 07" is the literaly the best sounding music since blind melon sang no rain.
Good Start June 16, 2008

This is their first CD in a very long time. And while no one can replace Shannon this new guy isn't half bad. However, there is a few disconnects in the songs. I think more time together will fix these little wrinkles. The second CD will really be the one that tells if this band will be staying or not.
So glad they are back! July 10, 2008

I grew up in Columbus, MS 10 minutes away from West Point... Needless to say I knew who Blind Melon was before they ever had a record deal. When Shannon passed away, a peice of music died forever.
When I heard there was a new album and a new singer I was extremely concerned I was going to hate it and that I would be further reminded of the loss. I was mistaken. I had the pleasure of seeing Blind Melon play again in march '08 with Travis behind the mic, and the show was amazing. It was a night I will never forget. To see the guys jamming out again and to hear my favorite songs again was un-believable... and then there were the new songs...
They are GREAT! The whole album is classic Blind Melon musically (only sounds like Blind Melon and not this bubble gum crap thrown at us all the time) and the singing is great as well. Travis does NOT attempt to mime Shannon, tho he does sound a bit like him from time to time. I chalk that up to him being a fan of the band his whole life.
I recommend you pick up this album. You will not hear Shannon Hoon... but you will without question hear Blind Melon!
