sunkilmoonMar 22, 2005His previous two albums have been pure pop perfection, this however, fails to reach those heights despite providing some of the most infectious songs of 2005.

GorillaRockn'bovsMar 23, 2005This album is great. He's grown as a producer and maintained a healthy songwriting ethic. I think we can expect him to continue to grow as a young, 35-year-old songwriter and performer.

ClydeFMar 28, 2005A wonderful synthesis of One Mississippi and Lapalco that features Benson's most confident vocals yet.

mattaMay 26, 2005There are some really great tracks on here (Spit it Out, Cold Hands, What I'm Looking For) but there are also some severely underdeveloped songs that are just that much disappointing because of the obvious potential that they exhibit. Overall though, a fun album with some great tunes.

Doesn’t sport as many memorable tunes as 2002’s Lapalco.
-
Under The RadarThe songs all sound cleaner and tighter than those off the critically praised Lapalco, but instead of over-produced banality you're left with pure pop perfection. [#9]
-
The Alternative To Love to be a quality rock album that covers several genres in influence and doesn't deserve to be punished for not being as good as its predecessor.
