What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (cd)



Must have been in my grunge period here. And it still holds up quite well. Debut album from this Florida band.
Quite an impact for a debut with album spawing four hit singles and going 6X platinum, hitting #22 on the Billboard
chart. The follow up would perform even better. Singles from here hit various charts, with One doing the best
overall. Best for me is What's This Life For. Other tracks I love are Torn and the title track. Nothing I don't
like which is surprising for me from an album this heavy. About as hard core as I get nowadays. Noticed a lot of
spiritual overtones on this album. Lead singer Scott Stapp's daddy was a preacher man so some of it must have sunk
in. The band split for a spell in 2004 after only three albums, then got back together in 2008 for a fourth, but
the magic had dwindled by then, with the public having moved on. Some conservative views and the religious feel
probably explains why they were never well received by the rock critics, but what do they know? No different than
you or me. Just another opinion.

I LIKE THS ALBUM

Worst Track - Sister

Best Track - What's Ths Life For

Hurray for a child
That makes it through
If there's any way
Because the answer lies in you

They're laid to rest
Before they've known just what to do
Their souls are lost
Because they
could never find

What's this life for
What's this life for
What's this life for
what's this life for

I see your soul, its kinda grey
You see my heart, you look away
You see my wrist, I know your pain
I know your purpose on your plane

Don't say a last prayer
Because you could never find

What's this life for
What's this life for
What's this life for
What's this life for

But they ain't here anymore
Don't have to settle the score
Cause we all live
Under the reign of one king

But they ain't here anymore
Don't have to settle no god damn score
cause we all live under the
Reign I said you know of a one king

One king
One king

But they ain't here anymore
Don't have to settle no god damn score
cause we all live
under the reign
I said you know of a one king

One king
One king

But they ain't here anymore
Don't have to settle no god damn score
cause we all live under the reign of of one king
