[EX Q]: murdering the dead horse . "A Collection of Short Stories will go down as one of the best debut albums of any band."  That, I'm afraid, is a real review...someone actually listened to this and decided that it is so good that it deserves to be ranked among the greatest debuts ever  weezer - the blue album  led zepplin - self titled   creedence clearwater revival  the cure  the pixies   queen  red hot chili peppers  sublime  the violent femmes  death cab for cutie   houston calls  ....one of these bands are not like the others, one of these bands just dont belong..  truth is, I heard this cd before I even listened to it.  This style is hackneyed and killed. It's been so long since a genuinely good band has been seen as cool that even the critics are starting to forget what good music sounds like.    "200 miles that sure is far"...thats a real line on this cd. but whatever, this is what amazing is these days..this is where generations of integrity has brought us in music..its a lost cause because in the end i guess it really is all about the dollar.  The music industry is one of the most unstable industries out there. no one knows how they are going to look financially in the next ten years..so what  do they do? they take the quick cash in..they sign crap like this that no one has to think about. easy music, easy dollar. building a band is too much of a risk these days..now instead of building them and improving them, they produce them..autotuner, cut and paste music...so sure  this is a great cd and everyone needs to check it out because we all need to chip in on drive thru/rushmore's new escalade with chrome hydrolics..at least the rap industry is honest about where the money goes
[EX A]: NEG

[EX Q]: the way this song was supposed to sound . I'm astounded at the number of people that think that an upbeat lovesong like this is supposed to be sung with a voice that conveys angst.  Gritty is putting it mildly, the album version of this song sounds like Chad Kroeger has bronchitis.. curiously enough it sounds very similar to an audio file that's been run through a heavy sound compression codec, which is to say distorted and overall harsh.    I'm certain that this is the version that Santana would have wanted on the album, but Alex Band of the Calling just isn't as big a name as Chad Kroeger of Nickleback, they needed big names to sell it.  So they recorded this altogether better version to play on the radio and in the video to make people think that's what they were getting on the full CD, then pulled a fast one and delivered the bronchitis special edition instead.    On the other hand as the other reviews have suggested, if you liked the album version, if you honestly believe that a love song is supposed to be sung with angst.. and.. er.. grit..  then the CD single is probably not for you
