    One of the best albums of 2008. It's funny how he put one of the best songs at the end....very end. This is guy is a comical and musical genius. Glad to see he just put out a new album. It's about time!! If you don't own this double disc call an uber ASAP and get to the record store.

    A Love Extreme is, as its title suggests, an album of sonic extremes, but those willing to sit through both discs will find a number of eccentric, engaging songs, particularly on side two.

    With music that evokes cheesy early-’70s MOR and the modern Hollywood-hipster songbook invented by Beck, this is pop that gets out and moves, and has you rooting for the wallflower with the yawny voice to do the same.

    Despite several hackneyed moments on his debut, Hughes has crafted a solid set of songs that causes feelings as it explores them.
