- Best Album Yet!

I would have to say this is Emerson Drive's best album to date. I own (and love) both of their other CD's, but this one rocks! I am listening to it constantly. I don't think that I will ever get sick of it. The lyrics of most of the songs is just so profound, and they just speak to me. If I had to pick a favourite song, it would be a tie between "Moments" and "Everyday Woman." These are both slower songs on the album, but the lyrics are just so poignant and it just gets to you nand makes you think. Also, the songs are even better when you hear them live, so if you get a chance to, see these guys in concert! I had the pleasure of seing them play at a small bar in town, and I think it's was more intimate than it would have been in a huge arena, so that made is so much better. I love this CD and would totally reccomend it to anyone! (Even if you're not a big fan of country music in particular)

- "Countrified" Rocks!

While I've loved E Drive's past two albums, this one takes their talents a step farther, defining their impact in the country arena. The songs, "A Good Man," "Moments" and "Countrified Soul" are my favorites, but it's not like they outshine the eight remaining songs. Each time I listen to the album, I get something different out of the songs. The vocals and musicianship is truly tops, and the song selection is a work of art. I'm certain this CD will be at the top of my listening stack for quite a while. BUY THIS ALBUM! It's worth every penny! And if you get the chance, see these guys live. So much energy and fun.

I love this album! My favorite song is "I've had my moments". What fantastic lyrics!

Customer review
- good music

While I seldom enjoy every song on an album, this album is worth getting. The song "Moments" hit home and was the main reason for the purchase. I suggest previewing the songs before purchasing if you are a fence sitter on this one.
