Matt Angus is a very interesting songwriter, the kind who holds a loaded gun behind his back.

Matt Angus is a very interesting songwriter, the kind who holds a loaded gun behind his back. The tunes are perky enough, veering between rock and some touches of country, but listen to the words and he can be a bit of a preacher, although his message is pretty much "Why can't we all get along?" He charts America's political division in "Red or Blue," wonders what people would make of a returning Jesus on "Jesus at Your Door," and goes looking for his country on "How Can That Be?" Yet he's still a champion of the Everyman musically, finding a common denominator and a sense of catharsis in music. The band is muscular and tight, and the backup singers can wail as if they were auditioning for "Gimme Shelter." All in all it's a combination that works very well. Matt Angus asks you to think, but there's nothing wrong with that, especially when he stimulates the brain as well as he gets the feet tapping. ~ Chris Nickson, Rovi
