Outspoken fills the Nickelback niche and some........2006-08-17

Outspoken seems like another of those bands that could have been.
Each song of theirs is distinguishable from all the rest, but the singer has a voice very reminiscent of Nickelback's Chad Kroeger. A few of the songs sound like they could have been done by Nickelback, but the others are unique in and of themselves, and they display Outspoken's talent.
This is a regular, but altogether good, rock band. Their songs are memorable and filling, while remaining altogether singable.
Good CD.

1st Iv'e herd of them........2005-09-02

As though its a mix of Nickleback and pure talent, with a vocalist of pure prefection, and guitar riffs that boggle your mind. I dont plan on buying it, but the samples are a good enough taste for the future.

How would I go about describing the sound of outspoken? First take the sound on Nickelback during the "curb" and "the state" albums and rub them really hard against "the fallout" by default. Then had just a pinch (JUST A PINCH remind you) of scooter from cold during the "year of the spider" recordings and...Bam!(sweet Emril reference!) you have an Outspoken as a sample platter towards better more accessible artists. I don't say this to take away from what this band has been able to achieve. This is a good album with a select handful of tracks that are worth your time, and an album that is made well enough to just let play and pass the time. Nothing provocative here, nothing over stimuating, it is an album that is written in the modern style that combines a few hard rocking "Drop-D" songs with melodic ballads that will fit well in the VH1 roster between 3 doors down and Shinedown. So in conclusion if you like any of the before mentioned bands or if you are into bands like "Course of Nature" then pick this up (used is fine) and expect to listen to it three or four times and then revisit one of the other bands I've listed.

why did it take so long?.......2004-09-07

It took several months for me to truly appreciate this cd, but it is really incredible. The first couple of times I listened to it, I thought it was "ok" - don't know where my brain was - not at home I guess. This cd has become one of my favorites and certainly one of the best new cd's I have heard. This cd ranks up there with Forty Foot Echo, Shinedown, and Splender's `To Whom it May Concern'. A great cd you will want to add to your collection,

One of the best, EVER!.......2003-12-10

Outspoken does something that many bands take for granted- melody. This cd should be #1 on all rock charts. The tracks are melodic and often break open into crashing guitars (similiar to the band REVIS, also excellent). My favorite track is "Deep than Down", the lyrics are astondishing and groundbreaking in my opinion. They have something on here everyone can relate to. Please support this band and buy this cd! You will not be disappointed.
