Gone
Artist: Bill Madden 
Label: Mad Muse
Time: 39:49
 
This guy is just a little too mellowed out. The vocals are mumbley. (Guru sounded like goober. That can be awfully confusing.)  

he acoustic based songs are fairly laid back for the most part, but the title track jumps out of the speakers and slaps you around. I'm not sure where that song came from, but Madden should go back to that place and write some more music. When he gets energized, he's good. Even reminiscent of Steve Taylor. He has the lyrics to go with it, but needs to let the energy out. 

Weight of His Words
 
 His mind is set, his eyes are fixed
 He criticizes just for kicks
 With every prick and insult he spews
 His ego blows up like a hot balloon
 He speaks of things he thinks he knows
 In syncopated measured tones
 He sees himself a sage in robes
 But I see a fool 
Good lyrically, but too toned down and tuned out.
