Great article, Mark Franklin. Thanks for acknowledging how much James fans are GONZO over this album. We are, cause Memories of a Beautiful Disaster rocks! It’s got everything and shows off James awesome vocals perfectly.
this past week have been watching the sales numbers of new releases and could not fight the stupefaction… today went to listen to the multiplatinum album of daughtry and coldplay’s leader just to get a little educated about who wins those audiences… and couldn’t believe how much superior durbin’s album is… would not say everything is perfect there on the production side, but come on!!! everything you can wish from a young rocker is there…and more.. and some really great songs in abundance i don’t remember since… well done, james!!! you can see a sorta of a new style emerging… and gosh! what a fascinating watch it is… we knew we could count on serious entertainment here… and great things to come from your talented band in coming years… good luck, james durbin!!! more promotion, name recognition that comes with more good songs and you’ll be ‘in chocolate’, as they say, pretty soon… you guys can listen to whoever…
Been listening to his album over & over–not a song on it you won’t like. I want this to get to radio–they’ll LOVE IT!
This album has so much love, May is an example of this, I love every issue, but I recommend listening to: higher than heaven, all I want, deeper, right behind you, for me this album is amazing.
