Again is Clark Colborn's second album (the first released under the name "Clark Plays Guitar)." While that release garnered strong reviews, Colborn ups the ante with the follow up. The change can be noted by just looking at the credits as King's X's Ty Tabor serves as the mastering engineer on the release. But the difference doesn't stop there. Colborn admits that on the first disc he held back a bit, playing it a bit safe. With Again, he says, "I let the songs take control and go where they wanted to go. So I ended up with longer songs (the obvious single, "Lie to Me," is six and a half minutes long!), more complex arrangements (but they still flow and rock!), and vocals. I always try to write music that will flow, and rock, and hold the attention of the listener. Sometimes getting too technical can ruin that flow, but for intelligent listeners not being technical enough can make the music boring. I think this  album strikes a really good balance.
