Lots of guitars, distortion, this is a well done, well mixed CD for rock music lovers. Not heavy metal or head banger stuffjust good rock. Good leads, tight drums.Clear vocals with good background vocals.

When I get a new cd i always flick through and listen to the first minute or so of each track.  I have to admit that when I did this I wasn't too sure about this album but once i played the thing my doubts disappeared.  Its great.  It reminds me of so many different bands from the past few decades.  A prefect example of good songwriting and a band that want to rock. Gets better with every listen.

CG knows how to cut a groove - and is nice enough to tack sing-along melodies on top.  Their rocking jams from "Fragile" including the mid to upper tempo "Evans Park" opener, their snaky leadoff single "Twisted Lives", and tear jerking booty-getter "Inside" make it hard not to 
appreciate their song writing and musical capabilities.
   
I'm looking forward to their 3rd CD, sure to be a hit, which will include "Better Life" with bounce enough that you can bet it will become a summer road trip staple if they can get it done by January 2003.

It's hard not to appreciate the band's versatile rhythms and ear for texture. 

And you don't even have to send off for one of those goofy T-shirts. 

And boy you should see em' live! Sweet Lord O' Mighty!

Being as sexy on stage as they are, it really makes for a difficult time enjoying the music of Common Ground at live shows.  But that's the price you pay for being 4 sexy bitches in rock'n'roll.  All jokes aside, Common Ground has the sound that everyone entering a studio is in search of.  Breaking through the monotony that rock music has grounded itself in, Common Ground bring originality not seen since the New Originals so long ago.   Lyrics that jump out and scream for your attention, without the need for screaming, shine through on cd's such as "Fragile."  You can't help but want so badly to sing along the first time you hear songs like "Take on the World", while it's guitar riff grabbing you by the balls.  Their newest work, "Take Me With You" picks up right where "Fragile" left off, proving that with 4 talented musicians, and 4 emotionally charged songwriters, you might just be able to stop staring at the bulges in their pants long enough to rock.
