Amazon offers Deluxe (Audio CD),28 February, 1995 List price $16.98 Welcome to the 'safe' Alternative / 2 I'm giving this Better Than Ezra album two stars. And that's generous considering how bland and generic the album overall is. The two hits it spawned are the obvious standouts, with "Good" the better of the two. The bassline and song structure in "Good" reminds me of something off Green Day's Dookie. "In the Blood" is more serious but still quite nice. The rest of the songs are dull with a rock/country blend that surprisingly doesn't manage to be interesting. There were many bands out around '95 that had this 'safe' version of Alternative perfected. These kinds of bands lacked the unique vocals, kooky lyrics, and bizarre perspective that bands like Sublime, Local H, and Goldfinger offered, while still retaining the same kind of overdriven guitars and bouncy basslines. Some other bands that churned out this 'safe' brand of Alternative and only had a few hits were The Rembrandts, Collective Soul and Toad the Wet Sprocket. But the kicker is this: I'd have no beef with Better than Ezra and their ilk if they actually put out a greater volume of hook-filled or at least memorable tunes. For a 'safe' Alternative band that put out a ton of great music, I would suggest Live's Throwing Copper. Song "Closer" And the morning light was breaking Slowly moving across the bed He gets up without her waking To the voices in his head Through the shadows in the hallway To the room they painted blue And on the inside he is frightened At a loss for what to do Until he opens up his eyes And the angels all look down Even closer than this life Closer than your faith Closer than the things that you hold dearly And in vain Closer than this life Falling through again Giving more than anything That you could hope to win And he knows his life is changing It's never easy letting go For the first time you are mortal As the child before you grows And he wonders at the sight Of the joy that he has found Even closer than this life Closer than your faith Closer than the things that you hold dearly And in vain Closer than this life Falling through again Giving more than anything That you could hope to win And what would you intend to find? Solitude? Your peace of mind? Holding out for something less Than touching the hand of God? Even closer than this life Closer than this faith Closer than the things that you hold dearly And in vain Closer than this life Falling through again Giving more than anything That you could hope to win Closer than this life Closer finally Living for the only thing You ever made complete Oh, for the one thing That you both did perfectly
