Video doesn't go live for another 18 hours and there are already comments saying "Outstanding !!! OMG This is a great song!" and "Amazing powerful anthem.... love it. Awesome vocal and guitars"

Love Find Me but last album wasn't their best.  Hope this is a return to the first couple.

Yeah, I agree. Each one has been a little worse than the last IMO. I'm getting a little bored with the standard Flores production.

That being said, I'm looking forward to hearing how the Peterik songs turn out. Could be a promising change of pace.

Finally watched the video. The song is meh. The video might be one of the worst I've ever seen. Robbie and his wife playing in the backyard... why? And the whole thing so obviously shot on a phone. Robbie has that distracting looking off to the side thing throughout that you get when people look at the phone screen instead of the lens. And amateur editing. Yuck.

I think with a better video the song would leave a better impression. Cause the melodies are not bad and his voice is great.

My favorite part is him strumming the acoustic guitar despite there not being one in the song

“I See You in Everyone”

Well, that's two of my three favorite Survivor songs he's covered now. Not bad at all.

After a few more listens...I actually think this cover is over-sung. The last chorus is completely over the top. Robbie is a tremendous singer but he got too theatrical on this one IMO.

Album out today.

Full album...

Picked this up (the completist in me) after not being over blown away by the last few...and yeah this hasn't blown me away either..only had a couple of listens but nothing seems to stick out for me except the feeling that its one long song as the variety/style doesn't seem to change...then it just ends...i'll give it more goes but I have a few others I'm more excited to give time/listen to over the weekend.

Agreed with this. It's definitely not bad but the novelty of this project has definitely worn off. As hard as I try to judge albums in a vacuum it's hard not to hear the material from the previous 2, 3, 4, etc. albums.

I feel like studio projects like Find Me are more susceptible to this because if it's an actual band, you have several people with creative input which can lead to conscious (or unconscious!) changes in direction. Not so much when it's one person at the helm and the same producer over and over and over again.

I like the Survivor cover, but I agree with some of the other sentiments about the album being "over-sung". It's like they're perpetually trying to push things to 11. It's good musically and sonically, but it's is if the air is always being sucked out of the room.

[Geoff]

Small handful of songs I'll add to my playlist, probably more out of obligation than a strong fondness for them, but there's a few decent tunes on here like the first couple and 'Love Always Finds A Way.'

But this type of ultra-safe AOR is getting increasingly hard to get into as the years pass.
