  • Engineers: Brian Scheuble, Gregg Wattenberg, Jack Joseph Puig.
  • Recorded at Mad Dog Studios, Burbank, California and EMI Studios, Santa Monica, California.
  • "Superman (It's Not Easy)" was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal.
  • It's not difficult to see why Five For Fighting struck a chord with young American audiences. In their music one can hear a bit of Dave Matthews's vocal warmth, Tonic's pop sensibility, Train's melodic soulfulness, and Counting Crows' intensity. This is not to say that the ceaselessly infectious and hook-filled AMERICA TOWN is derivative. It's just that Five For Fighting are tapping into a gestalt of which they are as much a part as any of the aforementioned bands. They also happen to be quite good at plying their pop-rock trade; constructing enough classic melodies, memorable choruses, and gritty ruminations to hopelessly ensnare anyone enamored of folk-rock circa 2001. Hooks, warmth, charisma, what more could one reasonably ask for from a humble American rock band?
Professional Reviews
Q (May 2002, p.112) - 4 out of 5 stars - "...A wry humour applied to tales of ordinary American life. If Ondrasik's lived-in voice is reminiscent of alt-rock cult hero Shawn Smith, his songs have something of the melancholy of [the] Counting Crows' debut..."
