The American by Angie Aparo

Pros: Lyrics, vocals, guitars
Cons: Producer Matt Serletic and his synthesizers

I stumbled upon Atlanta-based writer and singer Angie Aparo while listening to Michigan State University student radio. The station is more than happy to play relatively unknown artists from around the world and Aparo became one of their...

Pros: Unique sound, but in a good way
Cons: There's only one "The American" out there

I first heard Angie Aparo in 2000, when his song "Spaceship" was played pretty often on the local rock station in Athens over that summer. I remember really liking the song, but somehow never hearing who it was by and never hearing anything else by the ...

Pros: Depth of lyrics
Cons: Absolutely None

Very seldom does anyone or anything take my by complete surprise. This is it folks. Angie Aparo. His voice, his lyrics, the music that backs those lyrics – they get in under my skin and move me in a way that is unforgettable. There is only one...

Pros: Heartfelt and beautiful ballads and folk melodies, spiced up by solid upbeat songs.
Cons: Some of the tracks are over-produced into oblivion by Matt Serletic.

Pros: Amazing music
Cons: haven't found any yet

I bought this album because I'd originally heard "Spaceship" and really liked it. One look at the artist inside the cover, though, and I thought "um, is this going to be industrial or techno?" It's not, people - when I played it, all...

Pros: Amazing vocal ability
Cons: None I can think of

I bought this album after hearing the song Spaceship on a local radio station. Since then, I don't think it has left my CD player. I found myself picking a new favorite song almost every day. This is only the second album where I equally enjoy every...

Pros: Great cd for listening all the way through
Cons: s

I first heard Angie Aparo two years ago in Birmingham, Alabama...just a simple man and his guitar...no glitz, just a message. His words hooked me from the start - now, the American is a cd is still giving a message to the world. The songs range in...

Pros: Refreshing talent, excellent new music
Cons: Has only one CD on the shelves now

I like listening to new artists who have real talent and listening to this CD convinces me that Angie Aparo is definitely very talented. I'd seen him in concert at some small club a few years ago where he played an acoustic set. I was expecting to...
