Man alive this guy doesn't fit into any genre - listening to the MP3 clips via the download album, he IS a genre!
There are smatterings of reggae, early 80's style Jon and Vangelis (in a good way), Sting, Peter Gabriel and a whole lot of completely original... well... original!
It's unique, immediately enthralling, quiet and yet something you can equally belt out at massive volume. Perfect quiet driving music or windows down "check me out" summer music.
And yet, there is something mildly disturbing too. The lyrics are sometimes angry and hurt - how much pain has this guy seen?
It's a damn good album and one that can only grow as you listen to it, but if you're ready for a session of something "samey" this album will make you dizzy!
Eclectic is probably the way to best describe this album. Odd would work too... I like it, regardless of how confused this review sounds.

I have to admit to being a late comer, only purchasing this album after falling in love with 'Somebody That I Used To Know', along with the rest of the world! It's fair to say, and in agreement with the other reviewers, that this album is HUGELY eclectic so if you buy it expecting all similar songs to the single, then you will be in for a shock!
I was really unsure of the album to begin with and I have to say, I almost felt a sense of false advertising, particularly when encountering Mo-Town styles, Phil Collins influence and some Barry White-esque voice modulation! There is a tendancy for it to vere into being a bit too happy-clappy on occasion, but this is well balanced by the slower numbers. I've listened to the whole album about four times now and I love it more each time, warming to each track more and more! Having listened to the previous album, Like Drawing Blood, on Spotify, I'm now going to buy that!
Be open minded and you will be rewarded! It might be a bit unexpected to have so many styles on the same album, but, personally, when I think of some other artists who I like, like RJD2, AIM, and Uncle, there is just as much variety on their records. I am also a BIG fan of The Shins and I think there is a lot of similarity there too.

For the all reasons one of the reviewers dislikes this CD, I love it. It does mix a huge number of elements from the last 30 years, but adds it's own touch to all of them, and blends them into a coherent piece. I've had this on almost continuous rotation for the last month, and am still far from being tired with it. You can analyse this CD all you want, but sometimes, it's simply better to sit back and enjoy it.

The Cd arrived in prompt time, was well packaged and I feel better value for money than what the supermarkets and CD stores are offering on the high streets. Read more

A real grower and a fantastic WHOLE album
Trust me , this is a grower. At first it seems an oddly disjointed blend ... considering the hugely catchy Somebody.. and Eyes Wide Open. Read more

Love it!
I love that this album doesn't really fit into the mainstream, It really is a breath of fresh air. Obviously everybody has different taste but this is just my cup of tea!

Eclectic
I enjoyed the album because of the eclectic mix of music styles. I have to admit though that the Someone You Used to Know is still my favorite track.

Good but not as good as I had hoped.
I bought this album because I love "Somebody that I used to know" and hoped that the rest of his music would be similarly good. I am sorry to say that it is not. Read more
