"I was getting worried that our generation would only have Britney Spears and NSync... I was worried my (as yet nonexistent) kids would look at me with disdain for my generation's apathy and lack of substance. I don't worry about that so much anymore after hearing Pat Ortman. The man is amazing, the songs are REAL, and the overall experience is a mellow high. Pat Ortman rants like a psycho Lenny Kravitz bent on revenge in "Tomorrow Is Never Gonna Be Your Fault" and then flips it in the bridge with an REM inspired melodic hook. With "Worried About Selling Out" he makes fun of people trying so hard to appear earnest when they have not substance (he even pulls The Muppets into it!). "It's Just You" is a damning indictment of a bad relationship. "All Must Go To Sleep" is the most stand-out track in my opinion, where he uses psychedelic pop as a vehicle for a rather heavy political call to arms for our generation. I love this CD!"

Really good CD, reminds me of guys like Coldplay, REM, David

"This is a really good CD. It's listenable all the way through, unlike the "hit" bare midriff boy bands I hate on the radio. This is an album, man. Remember albums? They were when music was made by artists, and you got more than one decent song for your money. Well, this is it. Pat Ortman rocks."
