Some Mad Hope

Amazon.com

With rapturous romanticism and over-the-top, heart-on-sleeve emotion, Matt Nathanson can’t decide whether he wants to be U2’s Bono (particularly on the opening “Car Crash”) or John Mayer (with whom he’s toured as an opening act). Though his roots are in the folk coffeehouse, he plainly has his ears aimed toward the rock arena, as the propulsive “To the Beat of Our Noisy Hearts” and “Detroit Waves” attest. “Wedding Dress” sounds like it’s aspiring to become a first-dance standard, while the sensuality of “Come On Get Higher” suggests more stripped-down delights. A couple of lines here compete for the album’s cheesiest: “C’mon let’s make this dream that’s barely half-awake come true” (from “Heartbreak World”) and “What happened to feeling cheap radio songs?” (from “Bulletproof Weeks”). –Don McLeese
