Average Rating:
 Rating:  - tuneful classic rockAugustana don't exactly break new ground with "Can't Love, Can't Hurt," but that's not a bad thing by any stretch. I was not familiar with the band before this record, but upon hearing "Sweet and Low" I took a chance and purchased the CD, and I was not disappointed. The songs are tight, melodic, and filled with memorable hooks. The singing and musicianship are first-rate. It's early to say for sure, but Augustana show signs that they could become a classic mainstream American rock band, a la Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Augustana is proof that you don't have to be all emotionally tortured and lyrically obscure to make great music, despite what most music critics seem to think. To quote a line from Roz Doyle on the old "Frasier" sitcom: "Excuse ... Read More: Rating:  - Hey now, this is it?They definitely diversified on this album. While listening to it I couldn't help but think that if Bob Dylan had a better voice (I love his voice), this is what he would sound like. There are two incredible songs on this album, a couple all right songs, and the rest aren't so great. I was disappointed after hearing "Hey Now" and "Sweet And Low" to discover that the rest of the album didn't hold much else to offer. Those are the only truly catchy and memorable songs, at least to me. An all right album, just nothing to rave about. Rating: - Augustana - Can't Love, Can't Hurt 7/10Can't Love, Can't Hurt is the sound of your typical up-and-coming modern pop-rock stars making the bold leap forward to diversify their sound rather than repeat what made them famous. Made famous by their ubiquitous debut single, "Boston," Augustana was yet another piano-driven rock combo that debuted in 2005 (see: the Fray, Snow Patrol) with yet another distinctive frontman (soulful vocalist Dan Layus). Despite its cringe-inducing emo title, Can't Love, Can't Hurt shies away from the heavily piano-based songs of their first album and focuses more on plain `ol rock `n roll, the emphasis on chiming guitars and Layus' strong vocals. "Sweet And Low" is built on a chugging riff and a catchy chorus, while "Dust" takes a Ryan Adams-inspired ... Read More: Rating:  - Excellent!"Can't Love, Can't Hurt" is an excellent album. The songs are beautiful in sound and lyrics. Augustana is a much mature band now. Including the single "Sweet and Low" and other songs like "Hey Now", "Twenty Years" and "Rest, Shame, Love" this album is, I think, the best of Augustana. A perfect album to enjoy completely. Rating: - OUTSTANDING!!One listen to a free Itunes song I was offered and I ended up buying the entire CD! While I heard and liked the song Boston, I never really looked into Augustana further. Wow, am I glad that I did! This CD is original, unique, it's breath-taking. The lyrics and the music are some of the best I've heard in a long time. I am thrilled to have found a new favorite band!! While I can't quite put my finger on their sound...Itunes describes them as alternative, folk and americana. Some of my favorites on this CD are: Hey Now, Sweet & Low, Meet You There, I Still Aint Over You and Either Way I'll Break Your Heart. Honestly, I like every song, which is rare.... You have to check out this cd. I guarentee you won't be disappointed. ... Read More: |
