Amazing. How anyone could say anything else is crazy and plain wrong. Andrew McMahon shows off his matured songwriting and arranging skills in every single song. Absolutely a fresh breath of air in today's stagnant music scene.

If I could vote more than 10 i would..Andrew is amazing. The Glass Passenger is one of the best albums I have ever heard. I don't know what the guy who said it's terrible is thinking. Dumbass.
Hannah R gave it a10:
Amazing, really listening to the lyrics of the song you totally get exactly what he went through.
Joseph C. gave it a10:
Amazing. Some of the best music I've heard in a very long time. Buy this if you get the time and money.
Brian B. gave it a10:
The hooks aren't as poppy but the message is stronger.

Inspiring. amazing. smart. soft. its just perfect. i think he smacked the sophomore slump in the face, and made an amazing piece of work.
Josh J. gave it a7:
It starts off fair enough, but Crashin' has a problem with not ending when it should have. Spinin' is probably the stand out track of the whole album. Lyrically swim is too obvious, and melody is almost too mellow. If you're not paying attention, you'll fall asleep. American Love is a decent song. It grows on you, but fist listen it just passes on by. What gets you off again just passes you by. It's a recurring theme of the album. Suicide blond is fun, a bit more uptempo than the previous 3 songs, but not enough to salvage what seems to be a lacking middle section of the album. Annie use your telescope is a fantastic song to sing to, and has a great melody. Unfortunately the lyrics are far too vague. From there the album picks up a bit, the tempo is still down from previous works by Andrew. Then, you find yourself listening to Andrew force a horrible falsetto in Caves. Starts off horrible. It picks up a bit, but not really enough to be the statement song of the album he wants it to be. Miss. California is nothing but pure pop fluff, and I personally loved it. Overall, it's a 7. The middle lacks alot, but if you listen to it enough it really grows on you. If you've been following Andrew's career from his days in Something Corporate, you really miss the old sound, but this new stuff is a breath of fresh air. Unfortunately it didn't quite fit as well as he probably hoped it would.
