Production-wise, it's excellent but Gabriel's voice in this album is abit less than stellar. BUT I've seen the Warm-up Tour clips on youtube, his voice sounds better than ever! Hopefully I/O comes out sooooon.
I like all the songs on Up
except More Than This (urghhh/blah mediocre pop song) and also, I actually thought The Barry Williams Show is one of his better songs on the album. |
Oh, whats wrong with more than this?

I find it a really mediocre/generic pop song, I'm sorry but this ditty seems to be more appropriate for a Backstreet Boys album. "More than this, more than this, more than this.." repetitive and annoying. And what happen to his vocals? He sounds as if he's tired singing. Believe me if I said I tried liking it but I always end up hating it.
Luckily, there's only one bad song on Up. |
I can see where you'd get at it being a Generic tune, but I think it works. The sound is complete, which is good for me since the openness of "My Head sounds like that" which had potential, but I think was the worst song on the album. Nothing happened! It didn't even build, and I think the vocal was definitely worse then anything in More Than this. I think trying to keep everything complex and needing to pay attention to everything going on is bad for an album. Now and then you need a break. But even still, there are plenty of filling subtleties that I enjoy. And the repetetive "More Than this" I think was a good ending, with the slowly building music in the background. Worked with the meaning.

I do agree that More Than This has a better ending but the beginning til the middle turns me off completely and for some reason, the imaginary picture of BSB singing this song keeps recurring in my mind.
My Head Sounds Like That has a bit of ambient quality which I like and imho, it's a more mature work, if compared to More Than This.
