this album rocks. this album groo-ha-hooves. this album thinks. this dude is hot. this dude is real. his music rawks. he's clearly a musician. a friend put me onto it who saw him live and "i couldn't believe he was real." you can get in on the ground floor, 'cause i don't even hear him on the radio yet. listen to the free samples, and you'll see what I mean. by no means do these supplant "deleted" or "the small bang" as hot tracks, though. too bad you can't hear "automatic", through which I cannot stay sitting--nor can I keep my head from doin' the beavis and b-head thing. raw. sweet.the music is electronic, the guy has a voice and an amazing repertoire and range. you can go along for the guitar/rock sounds, or the trippy electronic sound, or the vocals and lyrics--it's a great ride, infectious. i can mix it in the player with moby or no doubt, erasure, pet shop boys, grandmaster flash--these are just those impulses i can recall. i know nothing about music, but i have diverse tastes and this is like poppy, hip, edgy, rocky, and a solid album--not sure what the single is, but it would be hard to choose. the title track is my current fave. it's clever music.i HAVE bought it again, already. i can't keep my EXTRA copy on hand. it's grrrreat. i know when i can manage to pry it from my player for something else, this album will be the one i put in when i just have to get something done with music that reminds me what music does for my soul..."
