Reviews Customer Reviews for Lucy      Underrated      Rating:      This is a really solid collection of songs. I know some people do not like the album, because it doesn't have many up-tempo selections like the debut self-titled album, but I think this album has a nice combination of melody and raw rock music.     Customer Reviews for Lucy Cd      darker, but still worth a listen      Rating:      Taken for garbage as grunge was pretty much dead by the time this ablum comes out, Lucy still provided memorable tracks and noteworthy lyrics. Kevin Martin and company dig deeper for a more definative sound in their followup to major success self-titled debute 2 years prior to this release. Lucy trys capturing a more theme sound of darker, more pungent rawness to each song. To begin, the single "Simple Lessons," a considerably short song flames w/ a great guitar line, and furious fit of rage w/in Kevin's voice playing an earful of rock rage throughout the chorus. With "Drowned", a sense of depression type mood sets over for any down to earth emotional song. It's really a beautiful song if you just give it a shot and really listen to the lyrics. The words are open enough for anyone one really to relate to them. The title track has somewhat of a rythmic trance which resonates throughout the song. The vocals are rather soft, but I feel like it is similar to "He Calls Home" with a much more darker atmosphere lingering upon the guitars. "Best Friends" is a little off page to the albums general feel. This song is a little more poppier, and less moodier. If you like the song "Can't Give In" off the Airheads ST, then ya might like this song. The album peaks with "Become (To Tell)" and "Understanding." Both are remarkably dark but less forceful than anything on the self-titled album. "Become" is a little uptempo w/ a great beat, but "Understanding" is what I consider the little brother of "Change." It has the soft lead up to a strong rage. Instead of being 'written down' Martin wants to 'raise it on my own'. "Understanding" may sound like "Change" but the lyrics are very different in meaning. I'll go ahead and give "Crooked Halo" and "Bothered" the titles of fillers. I don't mind listening to them at any time, but I just could never really get into either song. Thus the reason why only 4 stars. "Butterfly" and "Butterfly (Reprise)" are esentially one huge song obviously, but we get "It's Amazing" and "Vulgar Before Me" in between. The last 4 songs here are all great with my fav being VBM out of the 4. All correlate the whole 'dark aura' feel as w/ the rest of the album. Each are somewhat less rock, and more deeper w/ introduction to what we will eventually get on Happy Pills. All in all, Lucy is no slouch except for a few songs. It's somewhat more of a transitional album than a hits album, and more themed. Lucy was never really judged fairly, and although more of a sway away from grunge and more into the post-grunge area a la Bush, Our Lady Peace, Better Than Ezra, Everclear, and Foo Fighters major debuts that came out about at the same time.
