Free At Last Review (Page 2)
"The Hardway," another slow percolator (with some deep bass, bros!) is one of the album�s best songs and most poignant messages, as Max laments his tendency to be "the kind of guy who has to find out for myself," and learn the "hard way." It�s a sentiment far too many of us could echo, and Kevin sings it like he means it. "I Don�t Want It" says loud and proud: "I don�t want it/your sex for now/I don�t want it/ till we take the vows." The blatency of the lyric may make some parents blush, but they can hardly despise its message: "S-E-X is a test when I�m pressed/so back off with less of that zest/�safe is the way they say to play/then again safe ain�t safe at all today/so wait for the mate that�s straight from God/don�t have sex till ya tie the knot." Oh, and one other thing, like I said earlier - it slams. As much as Nu Thang was a quantum leap improvement over dc Talk�s debut album, Free at Last is another logarithmic longjump, with sophisticated arrangements, stellar musicianship, and hat-trick production courtesy of Toby McKeehan, Mark Heimmerman, and Joe Hogue.
