I bought the album mid summer this year based on a review i read in The Week weekly. I was blown away by the first three songs on the album. Very impressed , even bought two more copies as gifts for my sister and best friend. I listened over the last 7 tracks and didn't really get into them that much.
Alas some time has gone by and i was driving around and i popped the cd in the car radio, set it on random and just listened. I found that the rest of the album is better, much better than the opening tracks. I think the first three tracks are the catch for the general public the fluff.
Not that they are bad by any means,but my god the tracks 4- 10 are something. Take a breath and let that breath out slowly, open your ears, open your mind, the other songs hit deep. You feel the pain of someone lost, looking for something, hitting the bumps in the road, in life. Finding his rhythm getting on track if you will.
I would recommend this album to almost anyone(except my parents). Peace out.
