Quality light, alternative rock artists are hard to come by these days. Fastball fits into this category. Matchbox 20 is one of the other alternative bands that fit the category. The problem is that the media is destroying the band. Don't get me wrong here, the song is a good song, in fact it is the reason I purchased the CD in the first place.
Fastball is a band that can be liked by the masses.
This can be a good and a bad thing. It is a bad thing for the reasons listed above, but it is good because most everyone is guaranteed to at least be able to listen to the album and not hate it. Another welcome addition was the variation on the album. This album is nothing new. It gave me nothing to squawk about to my friends.
