Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
I first heard Andy Tubman's song "Quiet Inside" on the film "The Jacket," and was immediately transfixed. Jumping on the internet, it was very hard to find any recent information on him. One thing I did find out is that he was in the Jane Doe's. So off to Amazon I went to find the cd. He needs to put out more music; what an amazing voice and talent. I hope he is still in the industry because I simply must see him in person. Doesn't look like he sounds (alternately like Tom Waits or an old soul blues singer) but then again, he's hard to quantify. You simply have to listen.
When I first heard Junkie, I was amazed and had to find out who this band was. Since finding them and listening to this full album, I am convinced. Tubman has a sound that is impossible to forget and, while the lyrics can be a bit strange, you can't help but love the music.
1.You Bring The Devil: The slow blues inspired sound is mixed with a pop/jazz sound to make a unforgettable track.
2.Quiet Inside: This has a sultry R&B jazz sound to it, with a steady rhythm to the lyrics that puts you in melancholy place.
3.Sad Again: This song has the more electric jazz sound that made me love the CD, and is definitely one of my favorites.
4.Junkie: This is why I started listening to the band in the first place. This song captures me and makes it hard to stop listening. Sometimes I just want to put this song on repeat.
5.My Lady: A more traditional R&B sound, this is not one of my favorites. It strikes me as a common sound on an un-common sounding CD. You Got It Goin' On: Another mainstream R&B sound, and another miss for me. These funky love songs have Tubmans writing that I love, but none of the heart and soul.
6.High: Another funky, somewhat electronic sounding song. There are portions of this song I like, but when he breaks into the speaking with strange backing sounds, it doesn't work for me.
7.All: This is R&B crossed with an electric sound again, something that Tubman likes doing. And for once it works for me. The pace of the song works and the music supports his lyrics, rather then drowning them. Who's Kidding Who: Another good Tubman sound, the electric starts to take over the R&B, making a funky and exciting sound. Listen to the lyrics, I personally love and identify with them.
8.Let It Rain: This is more traditional R&B. The music isn't the problem with this track, it's just a bit to slow for my taste.
10.Treasure: The song is more electric then R&B at times, and again, when he breaks from the sound that makes him great, it doesn't work for me.
11.Quiet Inside (The Jack Film Version): A re-working of the song for the film The Jacket. This version is more melancholy and sad then the original, something I wasn't sure was possible.
