    "Lucy"...sigh...where do I begin? :)

    Okay, okay - by now, you've probably heard the terrible reviews (which, depending on how gullible you are, you may or may not have believed). Well here I am, your trusty fellow reviewer, to set some things straight. ;) Let me say it once and for al...l: "Lucy" is NOT a disagreeable album. It's actually quite creative, innovative, and diverse in style - which's probably what led to the bad reviews (geez...people just don't know good music when they hear it!). But, alas, the tracks on Candlebox's second album aren't as radio-friendly as some people would have them be. So, what does an excess of creative energy plus no radio air-time amount to? You guessed it: disappointing album sales. Okay fine - not that many people bought "Lucy". Well, who the hell cares? I sure don't! "Lucy" is wonderful in its own right. The melodies rock, the vocals and lyrics are super - what more do you need? Hmmm...maybe an excellent drummer and a cool bassist? Well, you have that too. Any more complaints??? So people, give "Lucy" a chance. You might find that you like it, and after several spins, you might find that you like it A LOT. And so you should! Songs like "Simple Lessons", "Best Friend", "Drowned", "Become (To Tell)", "Understanding", "Vulgar Before Me", etc kick ass! And if you're like me and especially love a good frontman, you'll absolutely adore Kevin Martin, who can do unfathomable things with his voice. (I just LOVE the way he sings!) So go get "Lucy"! You'll like it! Read more Less

    I like this album.

    I purchased this cd at a used cd store last week, and after playing it a few times, I really enjoy it. Quite frankly, I don't know why this album failed to sell more copies. The only thing I can see that would be a reason is there really isn't a stan...dout single like "You" or "Far Behind" but overall, I think it's a much better album than their debute "Candlebox" in 1993. I think fans were expecting another album that was exactly like the first one and probably dismissed it without giving it a chance. I especially like the singles "Simple Lessons" and "Understanding" why they weren't top ten hits back in '95, I'll never know. I think this album came out about six years too soon. If this album were released today, with the alt-pop scene being what it is, there would be about three or four hits for sure. Anyway, if you like the pop-alt sound, if you're in your late 20's like me and you remember the early 90's alternative sound, I recommend this cd, it has that good early 90's to mid 90's rock sound that you all remember. If you became a Candlebox fan after their first album but didn't give this album a listen because you heard bad reviews or whatever, shame on you, go, buy this cd, it's a good listen, trust me.

Biography

Candlebox

Rock band featuring vocalist Kevin Martin, guitarist Peter Klett, drummer Scott Mercado, and bassist Bardi Martin. Candlebox came out of the Seattle scene, but their influences lie more towards bluesy classic rock than the grungy sound of other Seattle bands, which make them more commercially viable. The band has been derided because they were not originally from Seattl... Read more
