Editorial Review:
On his third disc, the one-man musical marvel known as Five for Fighting proves yet again that all that's standing between him and peace of mind--not the fleeting kind, but full-on, to-the-bone, heart-and soul-cleansing peace of mind--is a song. Two Lights picks up where America Town left off, diving smack-dab into the national consciousness and hitting, predictably, a sorrowful spot. First track "Freedom Never Cries" is a self-skewering lament that calls out to complacent countrymen by way of confession and an artful, piano-enhanced weighing of consequence. It's followed by "World," which reminds unpreachily, and not unpleasantly, that "history starts now." Where Two Lights better resembles 2004's hugely successful The Battle for Everything is in its more inward-looking tracks, the tender first single "The Riddle" among them. There, and on the near criminally pretty "I Just Love You," the mush-hearted may find themselves fighting the urge to hug the closest stranger. But despite his now-dependable dips into mopiness, John Ondrasik--Five for Fighting to you and the rest of the world--doesn't deny himself the opportunity to rock when he wants to. If anything makes this guy happy, it's the state of California: on "California Justice," he kicks off his shoes and works on his tan like a latter-day Beach Boy from the dark side, and "'65 Mustang" rambles down the coast with the kind of carefree vibe that, outside of a song, only a convertible can deliver. --Tammy La Gorce

Two Lights Reviews:
Five for fighting 
2009-08-28 - Never was a fan until I head this CD. Excellent vocals and many catchy songs. I will buy another from them to see if they are all as captivating as this one.
5 for fighting 
2009-05-17 - Arrived in perfect condition and on time. Great music to get through the Iraq war.
Love this CD!
2009-02-06 - First off, I am new to FfF. I heard their song "World" in a Sears commercial, and I think I heard "100 Years" in a Chase commercial a while ago. I love this CD. I can listen to it over and over and it doesn't get old. FfF is so talented, the highs that he can hit are simply amazing for a male singer. The only song I could live without is Policeman's Xmas Party. I have no idea why that's even there, it doesn't fit with the rest of the CD.
Five for Fighting
2008-12-20 - I received the product quickly but when I received it, the casing was cracked...was very displeased...
Five For Fighting does it again!!
2008-07-04 - Five For Fighting has done it again with a smash album full of hits and awesome tunes. If you like music you will love this CD. For those trivia buffs out there, they got the name of the band from a hockey term. When a hockey player gets into a fight on the ice he is sent to his box and gets 5 minutes of not being allowed to play. Thus Five For Fighting.
