Plumb
--candycoatedwaterdrops--



My musical tastes are extremely diverse (as you may see in my CD reviews) so my punk friends look at me weird when I show them my pop and rock albums. Well here is another one to add to your collection. Candy Coated Waterdrops is a huge step up from their very successful self-titled debut. Tiffany Arbuckle's vocals are as emotional and inticing as ever. And the music has slightly fallen away from guitar- driven modern rock songs. Plumb has included plenty of piano, drum loops, strings, and electronic blips to satisfy your music palette. I really like this CD. And the lyrics are beautiful and poetic. In "World's Collide: a fairy tale," Tiffany sings "Giving everything for love/ I'm finding out that's it not enough/ There's nothing left between you and I/ I'm finding faith but losing us/ Where worlds collide." A must have for the modern-rockers in all of us.
