    Did we ask for more of the same? At times he sounds like a dieing baby

    The first 3 songs were good....but the rest of the album sounds like Leonard Cohen on prozac.!

    An album confident enough in its substance to not force profound stylistic changes. [#21, p.100]

    There's a bit of Starbucks gloss to this record, a too-easy-to-like quality that may at first put off serious listeners and music heads. That evaporates pretty quickly, though, as you recognize that its lucid simplicity, its artful artlessness is not a trick, but achievement.

    It all sounds familiar but strange, and beautiful enough to suck you in. [24 Aug 2006, p.94]
