Editorial Reviews :
Wallflowers frontman Jakob Dylan may have learned the art of ambiguity from his famous father, but as he opens up on the group's bittersweet fourth album he emerges as a true individual. The band's first release since the departure of guitarist Michael Ward, who came on board to make the four-million-selling 1996 album, Bringing Down the Horse, finds Dylan raking over the details of his personal life in close detail. 'I think I made a mistake / I think I pushed when you said away,' he sings on 'If You Never Got Sick,' while using blunt tracks like 'Too Late to Quit' and 'Health and Happiness' to get in further jabs at the woman who did him wrong. To accompany this outpouring of emotion, the band infuses its midtempo Americana with fizzing electronic effects and hard backbeats. It's the Wallflowers' most adventurous and rewarding album yet.
Buyer Reviews :
The Wallflowers have out done themselves with this album. I have been a fan of them since 'One Headlight' but had totally forget that they had a new ablum coming out, by chance I spotted it and bought it without thinking and boy am I glad I did. This ablum is amazing! It's totally awesome and there's not a bad song on the whole thing. I've only had it 48 hours and I can't stop listening to it. While I enjoyed 'Breach' this album rises much higher reaching for something a little more perfect. 'Breach' was really depressing and while the sorrows of the Wallflowers aren't totally lost, 'Red Letter Days' provides a slightly more upbeat look on life, but this not overly happy pop mind you, it's real music, real emotion.
Hightlights:
'When You're On Top'- track number one and one of my favorites, has amazing lyrics that have a good message while at the same time leaving questions (there's an interesting religious overtone to the song as well) the song also sounds very different, as Dylan talks to us in an almost slow rap
'Closer to You'- one word 'AMAZING' I love this song, it's so romantic without being sappy, it's so real and slower than many of the other tracks but at the same time has an upbeat swing to it
'Too Late to Quit'- this song is just great and reminds us that the Wallflowers may be tired but it's too late to quit, and thank god they haven't
'See You When I get There'- this is love song that's just really fun and has some great back up female vocals that balance Dylan perfectly
If you have ever loved the Wallflowers, then go get this CD, because you won't be disappointed, it's amazing and proves that the Jacob Dylan is on TOP once again.
