    It doesn't really do anything that Life of Leisure didn't do better. It's still has all those same qualities of wistful prettiness that made the previous disc so gorgeous, but it just sounds a little stuck in a rut. It's a nice rut, ok? It'd be great to have sex to if anyone was interested, but the highlight would almost certainly be the sex. Still, good headphone record to get a little lost in.

    When you want to hear something nice and don't want to be overly engaged or challenged, Within and Without will satisfy your needs in that regard, and only those looking for memorable songs or fresh sounds will feel let down.

    There's a significant lack of depth to Within and Without.

    Greene's best trick: Using those elements of the past while crafting an album that sounds like a beautiful, dreamy future.
