1) Simply amazing. Honest; hearfelt and so much more.   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
When I first listened to this CD, I was like, OK. It's OK. But besides the single, a lot of the songs just came and went.Good thing I didn't sell this or give it away because deep inside the lyrics and the melodies and the piano arrangements, is a pleasant give from Gavin to you. He's very, very smart and in tune with how he feels which is great to hear these days. Not that other men don't do this, because it's rampantly-common these days. But Gavin just has a way of doing it so, so, so well! So give this CD a chance! I know it took me a while to love it!I already rated the Stripped version and now I'm gonna do this. So you'll obviously notice that I like the songs much more now.Follow Through - 4.5 stars. I love this song. It's so innocent.Chariot - 4.5 stars. We've all heard this one a million times. Inspirational and features great piano and a nice arrangement.Just Friends - 5.25 stars. What I thought about this song initially has changed. It's a great, honest tale of a lying cheat. Gavin's still willing to forgive if they just put the thought in the past and they admit that they really do love each other. I'm with him, but hopefully will only be stepped on once and then they're off!(Nice to Meet You) Anyway - 5 stars. xoxoxoxChemical Party - 4.3 stars. This is a good song. It speaks about a girl who has fun at a party and enjoys everyone but Gavin. He's drunk and she is high...too high to realize him. "I think I like you but you like this whole room. You sexy machine!"Belief - 6 stars. This song is kind of weird, lyrically, at first. But give it time."When you came to my defense with a knife in the shape of your mouth in the form of your body" didn't make too much sense to me then. But I've always liked the ending, continue to like it, and I totally understand what he means and is talking about now; love, trust, understanding, affection and sex. My favorite by him so far. Can't wait till the next album comes next month. Mariah Carey is actually my favorite singer ever, and I'm looking forward to this release more so than her next!!Crush - 5 stars. Thank you, Gavin. You delivered another strong track. I love the composition of this song. Once again, good job!I Don't Want to Be - 4.75 stars. Gavin's first single. It's a great one at that. Gives off a good message. Tells the world that Gavin isn't afraid to be his own self. In fact when people expect him to be different, he totally blows it off and finds the power inside to stand out as him and no one else.Meaning - 5.5 stars. This song didn't really do much for me before...but now it's so not skip-able! In fact it's my second favorite song here. I just love the lyrics. And the falsetto notes he hits a few times. You will LOVE this one. It's a favorite.More Than Anyone - 4.25 stars. Cute, but even though it's better than what it was the first listen through, it's just not a standout.Over-rated - 4.3 stars. I really like the lyrics here. 53.35 ÷ 11 = 4.85 stars.End note: As you saw, none of these songs gets lower than a 4-star rating this time around. I really am in love with this CD. And I must say, although I've said great things about many CDs, this is definitely in my favorite 20 CDs I've ever heard. For real, for real!Big ups to Gavin Degraw for this MASTERPIECE. It's pop music without being overly poppy. It's catchy without being too catchy and it might not be raw but it's real. Believe that.

2) This is a great collection   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I can listen to this over and over again and rarely get tired of it.And the nicest thing about it is that there is no one song that I wantto skip. I like them all.Thanks, Gavin!

3) breath taking album but is boring after a while   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
I first got this album two years ago and I still listen to it! I thought it would be more rockish upbeat because of his hit single "I dont wanna be" but most of the songs are slow moving. Even though I was a little disapointed, the rest of the songs are amazing to listen to with the guitar and his voice! Amazing cd!

4) Soulful Is Right   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Beautifully done song. He's saying what anyone and everyone says at one point. I like the way he says it. Judging by the other reviews I'm not the only one. :) Keep it up Gavin. We're looking for more of that creative spirit.

5) luv it   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
i'm not a rock fan but this cd has got me to become 1, i love every track, my favorite tracks are "Chariot" and "Chemical Party" When is the next album comin out
