 (5 Customer Reviews)
MESSENGER is an Enhanced audio CD which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
Edwin McCain is not flashy, nor does he wish to be. He is perfectly content with writing folk-tinged ballads and mildly anthemic, midtempo rockers, much like his labelmates and fellow South Carolinians Hootie & the Blowfish. Whereas Hootie broke down the commercial doors for this breed of heartland rock, McCain simply follows the path, winding up where Hootie was after Cracked Rear View -- namely, with a solid collection of no-frills rock, one that pleases without being particularly memorable, outside of a handful of singles. He was that way from the first, and his third effort, Messenger, is no different apart from the subtle differences -- stylish, radio-ready production from Matt Serletic (a veteran of Matchbox 20 and Collective Soul) and stronger overall songcraft from McCain. These subtle differences are enough to make Messenger his most consistent album to date, at least sonically, but these are primarily cosmetic changes; beneath the surface, it's pretty much the same album as before, with an equal balance of winners and fillers (most notably an acoustic version of the previous album's hit, "I'll Be," tacked onto the end). That's no great sin, especially since most artists following this brand of trad rock have the same problem, but it is a little frustrating, since production becomes the only way to separate the records. Nevertheless, the best moments from all three records constitute a body of work that stands up strongly to his peers, and the best moments from Messenger illustrate that McCain is getting better each time. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Most people are going to order this disc because of the air-play of #5 (I Could Not Ask For More) and #10 (I'll Be). But, if you want to be shaken by the beauty that Mr. McCain and his music has to offer, put on your headphones and listen to this whole CD...especially #3 (Promise Of You). If any song ever written can describe what it is like to love and to be in love, this is it! Example: "Promise of you, it sleeps in the air, the air that I breathe. And I know that it's true; don't have to convince myself to believe." Add these moving words to the haunting music that this song brings with it and you cannot help but let it become a part of you forever...like it has for me.

Edwin McCain returns again with messenger a celebration of love and life. The first singles I Could Not Ask For More and I'll Be (acoustic)have a lot of people talking. In short, if you're for good music that isn't crappy like rap pick up Messenger by Edwin McCain

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Who could ask for more?
ok, so many of u all know "i'll be" EMB's first single right? and u might have heard or better yet have the "missguided Roses" cd. well if u liked that cd u will LOVE the new "messenger" cd. Edwin and the band have put together an amazing album. the lead single playing latly is "I could not ask for more" if u have heard it u were probably knocked off your feet, it and the rest of the songs all have that affect. BTW "I could not ask for more" was written by the same woman who wrote "don't want to miss a thing" for Aerosmith. the music is wonderful. and if u are looking to hear like what catagory it would be in, u won't find it. the album is a little of everything all mixed. it's all heart and soul, and nothing less. if u don't have the album GET IT!!! trust me, u'll love it.
