The BravesLove & Mercy (2005)Johann's Face Reviewer Rating: User Rating: Contributed by: Anchors (others by this writer | submit your own) Published on March 18th 2005
How many times have you been watching TV, and a movie trailer comes on proclaiming some romantic comedy or children's movie starring Eddie Murphy to be "the feelgood hit of the year?" If you've heard that half as many times as I have, then sick of it doesn't even begin to describe your distaste for the phrase. Unfortunately, however, that's the description I'm offering for the Braves' Love & Mercy. It is a feel-good album, and there's no point during the 9 songs that you are subjected to Jula Roberts crying, or Bruce Willis trying to show his sensitive side. This throwback to late 80's and early 90's college rock is nothing breathtaking, but anybody who enjoys a good pop-rock tune once in a while should give this some spins.

Also, you can hear a different song off the record, "My Witness To The Ghost," at http://www.myspace.com/thebraves . To the dude looking for MP3s: please win another world series so people will appreciate your consecutive division titles more. ...but honestly, was this necessary? Awesome band, really fun live. Their pedigree (ex-Gods Reflex and Evergreen Trio, two criminally underappreciated northern Illinois bands) rules, too. honestly, these guys are simply amazing musicans. they are from the chicago/rockford land area and deserve some credit for what they do. Is there really a need to smash them because they are not hardcore/punk. They put out an honest whole hearted album full of melodies worthy of any true musicans to acknowledge and enjoy. So before you go stating the " i hate everything that isn't truly punk or hardcore," listen to album.
