Default Let's rate: Labor Of Love

Let's keep the tradition going.

My first impression - I don't love it, but I like it. Which is more than I could've said about the first two tracks.

The guitar melody seemed to borrow from Wicked Game and the overall mood resemble darker 90s stuff, especially DA. Remember when Jon said during the Facebook chat that fans who liked Have A Nice Day and These Days albums will like THINFS too? The first two songs (especially the title track borrowed a lot from HAND obviously; but this one seem to be one of the These Days-esque ones based on Jon's categorization.

His vocals are OK; not great, quite doctored, but that's nothing new at this point. I wish the chorus was a bit catchier, but for a song like this, it's OK, I'm sure it's going to stick in my head once listening to the whole album. It's one of those you need to pay a bit more attention when you listen to, which is good.

7/10
