Reviews Customer Reviews for Rebel Sweetheart      nice music -poor mix      Rating:      A nice wallflowers album, much better than breach. My main comment is on the surround mix, its average, the surrounds barely get used, so its like a stereo mix with a bit of echo..... i like my surround music to surround me -see dark side of the moon (sacd)-or a valid path (dual disc) best track god says nothing back     Customer Reviews for Rebel Sweetheart Cd      3-1/2 stars -- Off the wall      Rating:      First off, we all know about the trouble with DualDisc technology, so I'm not going to talk about that (I'm also not going to give the album one star because it wouldn't play in my computer; and just for the record, I didn't try to play it in my computer). I'm not sure enough people even know that the Wallflowers have an album out now, but while it's not their best work, it's still good. By just looking at the title Rebel, Sweetheart (note to another reviewer, it is not called Rebel, Baby), some people might sigh and say, "Here we go again with another artist gone political." But what makes this album different is that the political messages aren't in so many words, but you can still get them. Standouts include "Days of Wonder", the introspective "God Says Nothing Back", and the metaphorical "I Am a Building". And "How Far You've Come" is a keep-your-head-up song that actually works, although I think it would have worked better if it were the last song on the album. So why only 3-1/2 stars? Well, the album is produced by Brendan O'Brien, and as good of a producer he is, he overdoes it on here. Several of the songs' music is so loud that I can't hear what Jakob and the boys are saying (especially the first few tracks). Oh well, that doesn't make the songs bad, and if you've been following the Wallflowers up until this point, then you shouldn't rebel against picking up this album. Anthony Rupert Editorial Reviews for Rebel Sweetheart Audio Cd      Album Description      With over 6 million records sold and 2 Grammy?s under their belts, The Wallflowers have released their fifth album and first with producer Brendan O?Brien (Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen). Rebel, Sweetheart is the welcome re-introduction to a grown up rock & roll band with a renewed sense of purpose. The Wallflowers have created an album that yearns for clarity while reflecting the world?s complexity? these are songs written by a man and performed by a band that?s already lived a little. From the powerful expression of hope on the first single "The Beautiful Side Of Somewhere" to the moodily stunning "We?re Already There", Rebel, Sweetheart is poised to be the most focused and accomplished album of their career.
