Five For Fighting-Slice CD Review

Once in a while great music or a great album comes along that I just have to talk about. I have always been a fan of Five For Fighting and believe it or not, it wasn't until recently that I found out that Five For Fighting is actually one man- John Ondrasik. One of my favorite Five For Fighting songs is What Kind Of World Do You Want. Superman is also a great song. Five For Fighting's lyrics are powerful, it's messages clear. This new album Slice is another prime example of the wonderful music that John Ondrasik sings, writes and plays. It is a CD full of deeply personal and social messages that envoke your spirit and fill your heart. You definitely have a connection with the artist when you listen to this CD and the music is in part inspirational. Chances is the first single off this new album and I love this song. This is by far my favorite song on the whole album, but the whole album is great. One of the best albums, no lie, that I have heard so far this year. I love to listen to music that will relax me and move me, and this one does all that and more. This is one CD that I recommend you add to your CD collection.
