I know this is childish, but :lol: @ his surname. Makes me think of someone getting a lob-on.

Thank you for posting the link!

It's really great to read something positive about his debut album. I'll definitely check his album out.
If it's my cup of tea, I will think of buying a ticket for his tour ;)
When you're ready come and get it.

I was totally suprised about his debut! I never exspected such a diverse sound on the album! And his voice sounds 100% better on teh album than on the shitty production on the single!!!!!!

(you can hear the differance on the album)

I bought his album today and I have to say that it's really amazing!

I totally agree with DC34ever's review.
Lob really sounds mature.

My favourites are "Changes" (which really sounds like a leftover of "Justified" by Mr Timberlake), "Call Out The Sun", which has potential to be a summer anthem, and "Revolution".

I'm going to wait to see whether Changes is just another casting album that leaves the German Albums Chart after 10 weeks or if it's an album that really sticks in the upper part of the chart for AGES.

If Changes turn into a SomeHearts/Breakaway/Daughtry-like success (why do only Americans have such hit albums doing casting acts :roll: ), I could think of buying it, but I don't want another casting-so-so-album in my CD collection :wink: .

Most of the album's boring, Changes is a great track though.

He should sing that instead of Standing Still at the ESC.

It is probably going to be the first case.

The snippets of the songs sound good! "Changes" is indeed a nice song!

my verdict: 4/5 Stars

The album has nice ballads and great summerly uptempo songs with cute melodies and fluffy productions.

It's def. a cute album.

My favourite song so far is Day by Day followed by Conflicted.

I doubt that it makes sense to release one more single before the Eurovision Song Contest...
