Not for Sale

I am a bit surprised that there aren't more threads on this new CD that came out today. Overall, it's pretty good, but I'd rank it below the three other albums Sammy has released since leaving VH. IMO, the CD sounds rushed and the production is a little rough. Still, it's not bad. It might be the case where you need to listen to it a few times to appreciate.

I agree...

I almost bought this on Tuesday as I thought Ten13 was Sam's strongest post-VH release. Is it worth a purchase?

The CD is not too bad. I don't think it's his strongest but it does have that Waborita sound that we've grown to know. I do like the way the drums are pumped up in some of the songs.

Ok, I am Sam fan and I like the new CD so far, and maybe you will think I'm nuts for this, but some of the songs remind me of John Mellencamp circa Lonesome Jubilee and Big Daddy, Not 4 Sale the song in particular. Oh and the production and the roughness of the vocals remind me of Mellencamp's production style too, I like the fact that Sam isn't over producing his stuff these days

I don't have 10/13 so I can only base my opinion on MTM and the one w/ Mas Tequila. I really think Not 4 Sale is a great disc and is definetely his strongest solo album. I agree the recording and mixing is rough but other than that it's a great album. Stand Up and Make It Alright could've been great sounding w/ VH(IMO).
