    fantastic indie-pop follow up to his debut album. love so many different tracks, always hard to pick a favorite but Runaway Love and Day & Night stand out lately.

    Yes, Free Dimensional is a whole lot more polished and well produced than Special Affections. It is still very fun and at some points, even introspective. Diamond Rings may at times, sing with less vulnerability and emotions but the tunes are hook-laden and produced with an eighties touch. Lyrically, the album is not as deep as Special Affections and at times, quite comical - one two, love you, three four five love you more... While I was not too sure about his rapping on two songs, it was nonetheless brave attempts. Enjoy this and not get so serious.… Expand

    He sparkles on his own. [No. 93, p.53]

    It's shiny but fluffy, and sure to be a disappointment to those hoping that O'Regan could build on the promise of Special Affectations.

    The production is much bigger, and his songwriting more assertive and hook-heavy. Unfortunately, the awkward charm and intimacy of his early efforts are missed.
