Album Description
A musician's creative energy is truly captured in their live performance and Five For Fighting's new Live CD showcases just that. Recorded live at The House Of Blues, Five For Fighting's first live release is sprinkled with captivating tales and stories behind many of singer/songwriter John Ondrasik's favorite songs. The live album spans tracks from Five For Fighting's last three albums including their well-known hits ''Superman,'' ''100 Years,'' ''The Riddle,'' and ''Easy Tonight,'' along with many other gems. Finally, the lyrical storyboard of ''California Justice'' and acoustic rendering of ''If God Made You'' brings the performance to full circle.

 Worth every penny! November 12, 2009

Before I bought this album, more than one reviewer here (and on iTunes) have said that this may be the best FFF ever. I have to agree.
John Ondrasik is a genius with his thoughtful lyrics and beautiful melodies. My personal favorites are "This Dance" (what a love song!), "Note to the Unknown Soldier" (brings a tear to my eye), "Augie Nieto" (for the founder of Augie's Quest), and of course, "Chances" and "Slice." "Tuesday" is about 9/11 and the melancholy melody says it all for me. I also enjoy "Above the Timberline" so much. The rest of the album is really great, too.
I can't wait for the acoustic version of these awesome songs!!!

John Ondrasik is far from my favorite singer but he has had some great songs and albums performing as Five For Fighting! But this is by far the best songs he has written or composed. These songs are just beautiful, well written and crafted pop songs! It's the opposite of so many other artists who remain more popular than this alt band but lack material anything even close to this. Some might say it's a bit too lush and orchestrated, perhaps too mellow or melodic? But I like that kind of music and ballads like these. His voice glides so nicely on these tunes and I havent heard a bad song on the entire album. Perhaps the commercial success of this band is already behind them, but the QUALITY of the music has hit a peak with Slice! I love it!
Great Disc but peeved October 13, 2009

This is a wonderful disc - everything you'd expect from the FFF that put out "100 Years" and "Superman." A decently driven amount of rock with a wonderful piano laced throughout. Strings on "Tuesday" so sweet you might want to avoid them if you're diabetic but they still work just beautifully. Intelligent lyrics of course. I am sorely tempted to say this is the best FFF disc yet. YMMV.
What's my peeve? I pre-ordered this from the 'Zon and ended up paying about a buck and a half more than it's selling for now. But the $1.00 free mp3 download mollifies me. I may hold off on pre-ordering things after this experience.
Tremendous November 13, 2009

This album is tremendous. You know how some CDs have a couple of good songs but the rest are only okay or not so good? "Slice" is the rare album where each song is a quality song. Five For Fighting puts out some of the best pop-rock and piano ballads going, and this album shows why. Especially nice are the songs "Slice" and "Chances." Also, thanks to John Ondrasik for another great song honoring the American serviceman, "Note to an Unknown Soldier." In an era where artists increasingly trash American ideals its refreshing to see an artist that honors them. This is an awesome CD for fans of Five For Fighting and even those that are new to the sound. Highly recommended.
There is true grace here. October 28, 2009

What a lovely set of songs. The more I listen, the more I'm falling in love with every one of them. Note to the Unknown Soldier and Tuesday are incredibly moving, non-political songs, that should touch the heart of every American. John Ondrasik walks a very fine line masterfully and pays tribute beautifully. I don't care what side of the political aisle you sit on, I doubt you can listen to Unknown Soldier without at least a lump in your throat. Though I have no family or friends serving in the military, I am so grateful for both of these songs. They are gifts.
