Chad Brock

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
With a sturdy voice, slick songs, a nice smile, and a macho name, newcomer Chad Brock has all the ingredients for life in the country limelight. And no, that's not necessarily a compliment (save maybe that part about the smile): such traits are a dime a dozen in Nashville circa 1998. The CD is replete with soapy ballads like "You Made a Liar Out of Me" and "Ordinary Life" and party-time pop such as the Cajun-tinged, girl-at-the-lake-themed "Evangeline" and the jangly "Bingo Bull's-Eye" (sample lyric: "It's the right girl, the right guy, bingo, bull's-eye"). Chad Brock might be instantly digestible, but his music is about as exotic as mom's meatloaf. Those in tune with current-day country tones might want to check out the debut of this Florida-born former linebacker; those into original artistry had best look elsewhere. --Neal Weiss

Everyone goes crazy over Tim McGraw, Alan Jackson and George Strait, yeah there music is good, but lets face it there not bad looking either. Chad may not have there looks but his music is awesome. Video is great too! Maybe a new 2000 artists on the rise?

5 out of 5 stars "LIGHTNING DOES THE WORK"? AIN'T THAT THE TRUTH!.......1999-11-16

IT'S THE TRUTH "THUNDER'S JUST A NOICE ...LIGHGNING DOES THE WORK"

THE BEST COUNTRY SONG THERE IS (WITHOUT HUMOR IN IT, THAT IS)...

THE OTHER SONGS ARE GOOD TOO

5 out of 5 stars Lighning rocks the CD.......1999-08-28

Amazon.com

Thirty seconds into the CD-opening title track of Chad Brock's sophomore effort, you realize where you've been consigned: a place where "fate" means forgetting to have your mail forwarded to your new address. It's a place where mundane guitar riffs and obnoxious guitar solos rule, where the sound of a live drummer makes you yearn for a drum machine, and where loving a woman is "just like breathing." Poor gal. Apparently, making an album is just like breathing too--an activity that doesn't require much thought or passion. That title track is one of two songs that Brock cowrote; the other one, "This," offers synthetic handclaps and couplets such as "Your lips just seem to fit me / All this love is makin' me dizzy." No reason to become fixated on lyrics, however--there's also the stock production and bland vocals. Then there's the ridiculous new "Y2K" verse on Hank Williams Jr.'s "A Country Boy Can Survive" ("Computer man says it's the end of time / December 31st, 1999"), but we're back on lyrics again. Computers, incidentally, are just fine when they're used to post the two-bit animation on Chad Brock's Warner Bros. Web site. The real tip-off comes in the liners, when the very first thank you goes out to "Country Radio" (capitalized). Obviously, Country Radio is the primary receptacle for this kind of slight fare, so not since Johnny Cash's bird-flippin' full-page Billboard ad has a sentiment been more appropriate. --Marc Greilsamer

5 out of 5 stars Take no notice of Marc Greilsamer.......2000-10-02

If you like modern country, you'll love this album. If you are stuck in some elitist rut like Marc Greilsamer and some of the other Amazon reviewers, don't buy it. I bought this album a day or two after it came out, and ever since the first time I put it into the player on my van, the only time it's been back in its jewel case is to take it from house to car, etc. Highlights for me are "yes", hey mister", "she does" and the last track, "if I were you". The album is definitely better than "Chad Brock", which was itself good enough that I had no hesitation in buying "Yes". So go on, treat yourself.

5 out of 5 stars Great!!.......2000-09-25

First I thought that, like in most CDs, only the first track was good. But finally, every single song is just great. I can't stop listenning to that CD! I still don't know why Chad Brock isn't all that popular!!

5 out of 5 stars Better then the last!.......2000-09-22

This CD was definatly better then his last one. The songs "The Visit" and "Hey Mister" made me cry, and I love the remake of "A Country Boy Can Survive" Chad Brock needs to put more like this one out. I highly recommend this CD.

5 out of 5 stars Yes Yes Yes and much much more!!.......2000-09-20

Like many others, I bought this for "Yes" and quickly found this is a great album! It's nice to get a good surprise once in a while. Thanks Chad!!!!!!!!!!

4 out of 5 stars Great CD - Kinda Canned.......2000-09-19

I both agree and disagree with the main review of this album. The album is indeed canned - fake drums - or at least a studio drummer who had probably never heard the songs before he went into the studio - boring guitars, etc etc. But the songs themselves are great. Maybe it's poorly produced but I still find myself singing along and enjoying the music. It is quite a shame that country music has slipped so low but it still is a lot of fun.

Burly Chad Brock scored at radio with "Ordinary Life," a predictable three-minute drama about a haggard husband who bolts the suffocating trap of his life, and "Yes!," the true story of the singer's chance meeting with his wife-to-be. But as a serviceable performer with a pleasant, undistinguished voice and a nondescript style that teeters between traditional country and mainstream pop, Brock is only as good as the song he sings. His third album, which reprises those earlier hits as bonus tracks, is a case in point. "The Thought of Bein' in Love," which marries midtempo soft rock with pop sensibility, precedes the banjo-laced "Park the Pickup (Kiss the Girl)," a song that bypasses the suburbs and goes straight for the country boy's heart. Both tunes are custom-made for radio, but after that, Brock stocks his album with a grab bag of material, and most of it goes by in a blur: the sensitive ballads, the occasional edgy tune, and the yahoo novelty songs, including the spectacularly bad "I'd Love to Love You," in which the singer engages in heavy panting to get his intentions across. Brock is a big, likable cuss, to be sure, but if you need something more than affability from your music, better mosey on down the line. --Alanna Nash

    This song is a statement of truth .The writer hit the nail on the head when he expressed that the lightening does the work ,the music is upbeat and the artist voice is wonderful as always Chad Brock has come through in style.

    This song is now my favorite song. It pretty much tells you to get up off your and be active, instead of making alot of noise. Great music, excellent all around song. You have to check this one out.

    I am one of Hank Jr.'s biggest fans and anytime I hear one of his tunes I get a real adrenaline rush and to hear George Jones, a real country legend, singing with Bocephus makes it that much better. On the other hand, Chad Brock's high pitched voice doesn't fit in with this Bocephus tune. If you are a Bocephus fan, buy this one and sing along loudly on Chad Brock's parts.

    5 out of 5 stars COUNTRY BOY CAN SURVIVE 99.......1999-12-20

    I LIKE WHAT CHAD HAS DONE TO THIS CLASSIC HANK WILLIAMS JR SONG. I LIKE THE ORIGINALL AND I LIKE THIS NEW MILLINIUEM VERSION ITS STILL THE ORGINAL COUNTRY TWANG TO IT AND IT HAS SOME UPDATED VERSUS AS WELL

    5 out of 5 stars Y2K version of this classic redneck anthem is COOL!.......1999-12-10

    Chad Brock, Hank Williams Jr, and George Jones do an awesome job with this song. Guaranteed to be playing at my house on New Year's Eve! Yeehaw!

    5 out of 5 stars Great remake.......1999-12-08

    I heard this remake of the Hank Williams Jr. classic on the radio and just had to buy it. It has a lot of emphasis on Y2K and is quite funny as well. I would say it is a must buy for Country Music fans everywhere.

    I think this is a great song. It was even better to hear that this is a true story. For those of you that don't know, that is how he met his wife. It is a very inspiring story & a great song.

    5 out of 5 stars Country music fan from Colorado.......2000-07-04

    This song not only has heartfelt lyrics but a chorus line that when in concert involves everyone. I saw Chad Brock in concert and he was FANtastic. This song is a perfect example of how fate can change a person's life, if you believe.

    5 out of 5 stars Yes!.......2000-06-25

    This song sets up the way that love should be in a relationship and in a marriage there should always be something there that would make you say WOW!

    5 out of 5 stars Yes!.......2000-06-14

    I think the song Yes! does a great job of showing how love should feel. Love should always have that WOW! response, it should feel amazing. I think that there is going to be a lot more awesome music out of this guy and I can't wait to see him in concert!
