When the Calling first released "Wherever You Will Go", it took a few months before the mainstream hooked on to it, and then eventually it became so popular that it stayed in the top 40 for over a full year.

When the Calling first released "Wherever You Will Go", it took a few months before the mainstream hooked on to it, and then eventually it became so popular that it stayed in the top 40 for over a full year. But subsequent singles weren't up to par, and then it seemed like the band dropped off the face of the Earth (unless you count Alex Band's substitution for Chad Kroeger in Santana's "Why Don't You & I"). But now the band came back with Two, which is titled as such because of one of the following reasons: 1) it's the band's second album, 2) the band has been cut down to only two members, or 3) only two people own this album.
All jokes aside, I looked at the other reviews on here, and the reviewers are completely split down the middle; people either say the album is terrible or remarkable. So I guess it looks like I'm playing neutral when I say that the album is just okay. The album starts out GREAT, though, with tracks like "One By One" and the leadoff single, "Our Lives". And the romantic "Chasing the Sun" may look a little corny on paper, but to hear it is to enjoy it.
It's too bad that that formula doesn't work as well with the other love-oriented songs. "If Only" is okay, but "Anything" could stand a rewrite; and sorry, but "Surrender" is cheesier than a Savage Garden song. And there's also the obligatory end-of-album keep-your-head-up song, "Your Hope", that really doesn't come off more than tolerable.
While the Calling didn't really break any new ground with this record, it's still an above-average album, so if you like light rock, feel free to give it a spin.
