1) It's OK [Rating: 3 out of 5]
I have had another Plumb album, 'Chaotic Resolve' for sometime and have really enjoyed it. She has a very unique voice and edgy sound on that CD. I figured I'd get another one of hers hoping that it would be more of the same.Sadly, it is not. This CD seems very average to me both in terms of sound and lyrics. I like meaningful, positive lyrics. I particularly like solid Christian messages in the lyrics. I did not find that here.There are a couple of songs that could perhaps have a spiritual meaning if one looks deeply enough. Although I don't think this album is that great, I plan to buy another CD or two of hers to explore her sound more. I am hoping to find some other jewels. This one is not one of those though.2) Unbelievable Voice [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This woman can sing. It's too bad, for the world's ears sake, that she is semi-focused on singing Christian music. Christian music doesn't get as popular as, I guess, "normal" music. It would be a benefit to the musical world if she were more mainstream because the singers out there today are downright aweful and embarrasing.3) Beautiful ....Indeed [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Tiffany Arbuckle Lee is one of the most gifted artist I have ever heard.She writes and sings her own songs with a passion that will move you to.....tears?Sorry,I'm a guy but when I heard "Taken" Wheww!! I was blown away.There is way too much Christian music out there that sounds "manufactured" and not much else,fortunatly for us,Plumb hasn't fallen prey to that trend a la Mercyme,Third Day and Newsboys to name a few.Plumb is different and I respect her for that,she reminds us that we live in a fallen world and not all is rosy and perfect.I hope to hear much more from this uniqually talented young woman.Enjoy!4) Good Stuff [Rating: 4 out of 5]
If you like Plumb's music, try Brooke Fraser "what to do with the daylight" is her debut cd, that was released a couple of years ago in New Zealand (her birth place).Both Plumb and Brooke have proven you don't have to write trashy songs and compromise your beliefs just to get a hit song.5) Plumb is like a fine wine..... [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Since I discovered Plumb a little over 3 months ago thanks to the film Brokedown Palace I've been almost infactuated with their music. I like how they, now she, blends rock and pop so seemlessly. Plumb is a band I'm in no way ashamed of liking. Where the popular people of pop music say they're doing it for the music you know they're not. But in Plumb's case, I do feel that she loves what she's doing. I've heard the Greatest Hits CD, candycoatedwaterdrops, and now Beautiful Lumps Of Coal, and I have to say that in all of those CDs I've yet to hear a song I don't like. Once I heard that Tiffany and the rest of the band split leaving only Tiffany to claim the name of Plumb, I figured the 'solo' releases wouldn't be as good, but boy was I wrong. If anything she's become more sure of her voice and the music has taken a more decidedly rock edge to it. With both of these reasons, there is no reason to not run out and buy this right now.Free starts the CD off on a high note. I feel when a CD starts off this good the rest will follow in it's path. And my notion is proven right in this case. This song quickly measures up to Plumb's earlier greats such as Late Great Planet Earth. So you know you're in for a wonderful ride from the get-go. Boys Don't Cry is quite possibly some of Tiffany's strongest material to date. It's a touching song if I've ever heard one and you feel as if you can relate to every word she says. Walk Away, while sounding completely upbeat, is actually a sad song. But in the end it sounds as if it's more of a declaration if anything. Taken is a beautiful ballad-type song. While not being a highlight, it sets itself apart with a lush melody and great vocals. Nice Naive And Beautiful is the best song on here. I don't think anyone could say something bad about this song and be able to stand behind it. The way I see it, Tiffany puts herself in someone elses shoes and tells their story. Anyone who can do that successfully, such as she has done, is a good songwriter because that's not easy. Real is a song any person with feelings will be able to identify with, especially women. Yet another great song. Go is an appropriate ballad closer. After 10 songs of mostly upbeat melodies, it's a great choice to save a beautiful ballad for last. Go is really a ballad that people could take notes from, there's excellent use of strings, a perfect backdrop of music, everything is executed as it should've been.My favorite songs on here are Free, Boys Don't Cry, Walk Away, Nice Naive And Beautiful, and Real. Plumb plays Christian music the way it should be played. They don't beat you over the head with excerpts from the Bible, they just slide in vague references. While I hate to say it, Plumb has gotten a bit better since the band left, Tiffany has really had the chance to shine and I hope to see wonderful things from her in the future.
