Album Review
A clean and bright effort that delivers some heavy themes, America Town is a very American album: drifting from song to song is like driving through the Midwest going from town to town, each town has its own stories, and not all of them are happy. Singer/songwriter John Ondrasik tackles topics like suicide on "Easy Tonight" and the desire to belong ("Superman") but still manages to see the silver lining in the areas of family ("Easy Tonight") and idolatry ("Michael Jordan"). The songs are sung in a fragile growl, a little like Eddie Vedder singing a lullaby, and backed with some very straightforward acoustic guitar and piano-led rock. The focus is clearly on the lyrics, which are well written and effectively sung.

ANOTHER GREAT ALBUM!!!!
by ISA012 THUMBS UP FOR THIS ALBUM!!
Best song ever!!
by the 22This song wants me to be someone better than in am, I just wanna leave everyone and watch me become somebody. Even though its sad, it tells a story of inpsiration, of dignity, and determination. Please leave feedback
As with most Five For Fighting...
by schlapWhile there's nothing here that will cause you to jump off the couch if you're already there, the insightful lyrics and quality playing let it rise above the mundane. When you're in the mood for something more mellow, there is plenty of good material here. Superman, Easy Tonight, the title track and Alright get my votes for the best tracks. Probably 3 1/2 stars would be more fair, but that's not an option, so...
