| 55 of 58 people found the following review helpful  Her Best Album By Far., By This review is from: Revolution (Audio CD) Miranda Lambert, the spit fire with the stunning voice and sharply written tunes to match has finally come out with a complete album leaving little doubt that she deserves enough radio play for not only her content but also her voice. It's a shame she is not appreciated more. She is the female equivalent of Gary Allan; vocalists whose voices are so distinct that you can instantly recognize them on the radio ... if they were played more often on the radio.What makes Revolution such a strong album is that Lambert is clearly going for a more mainstream sound but without sacrificing her attitude. "Me and Your Cigarettes" is a perfect example with lyrics such as: "light us up and then throw us down/walk away when we hit the ground," is given power because she undermines the delivery. She's not afraid to let the lyrics in these songs drive you instead of selling "Miranda Lambert." And just like the acts that are getting it right on the radio, Darius Rucker, Sugarland, Carrie...

Here's One You'll Adore., This review is from: Revolution (Audio CD) My problem with Miranda Lambert's first two CDs was that they sounded like twangy tough chick therapy sessions. I felt she had successfully created a niche and a persona to allow herself to stand out from the crowd of pretty blond Nashville wannabe stars. Her vocal abilities and songwriting skills were never in doubt. But I seldom was able to get past that hard exterior of that persona to get a glimpse of the real Miranda as opposed to the character she was playing.With her third CD "Revolution," problem solved. I don't know if it's age/maturity, having seen more of the world, her happy relationship with boyfriend Blake Shelton, or the encroachment of Carrie Underwood into her niche, but with "Revolution" we are earwitness to the birth of a real artist. Here is the true Miranda Lambert, warts and all. She is still tough at times ("Me And Your Cigarettes"), still angry at times ("Maintain The Pain"), and still unhappy at times ("Dead Flowers"). But by...

I saw Miranda with Kenny in the summer and she did some songs from Revolution, but it's hard to really tell when hearing them live for the first time. Kerosene was great and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend really grew on me. So was it possible for Miranda Lambert to put out yet another solid effort (we see so many artists faulter)? Well, thankfully the answer is a resounding yes. Revolution is really a great record. It is different than Crazy Ex, just as Crazy Ex was different than Kerosene (and both were great in their own right). But rest assured Miranda still rocks, twangs and rolls with the best of them. Best of all, Miranda's spunky Texas tongue-in-cheek humor and sarcasm are alive and well. "Only Prettier," "Time to Get a Gun," and "That's the Way the World Goes Round" (my favorite song on the CD) are a few examples of that. So have no fear: Ran has NOT gone soft on us. Still, she is getting more introspective and... Read more |
