Bad Sign #1 .. Mark Wills despite having an attractive voice and presence.. has based his recent string of hits on some of the most icky, sappy, try-too-hard-to-be-touching, flat-out garbage out on country radio today. ( songs about plane crash victims, abused and tortured children.. he's just a barrel of laughs.)

Bad Sign #2.. The current inexplicably successful hit single off this disc is a pathetic cover of what was ALREADY an abysmally N-Sync-ish pop song called "Back At One."

Bad Sign #3 .. This CD has an unlucky 13 songs.

Sorry Mark.. all the bad signs add up to bad news.

To be blunt, This album mostly bites. Save for the attractive and creative "This Can't Be Love," the pleasant "Right Here," the somewhat kicky title cut and the only really GOOD song on this disastrous CD, " Almost Doesn't Count" this whole disc is one egregious misstep after another.

For one thing, If you are going to sing cheeseball material .. sing about cheeseball THINGS. For GOD's sake in the silly, overblown "Time Machine" we have a want of trying to bring JFK back from the dead. Stick to moping about love please and don't embarrass yourself more Mark trying to change world history. For another thing, please attach the right FEEL to the lyrics; "Still Waiting," another mope-a-thon about neglected children is actually PEPPY!! ( ???? What the hell???) The actually expertly worded "The Perfect Conversation" would be a great song if the tempo was just a TAD above dirge level. I could go on and on but If I did actually analyze any more of this dreck I am afraid of losing my dinner all over my keyboard.

This is really a shame. Mr. Wills seems like a lovely fellow in all his press material, and he definitely is far from untalented.... but this material has got to go.

Go.....That is exactly what I am going to do from any room or radio station that attempts to force me to listen to any of this crap again.
