Much more going on here than in the new one

(4 out of 5 stars)

"With the success of his latest album, Andy Stochansky found himself a little pocket of fame to enjoy. Sure, 5 star hotel was a good album and all, but it lacked all the things that made me fall in love with Radio Fusebox when i bought it almost 4 years ago. And for the record, it's still one of my most-often-listened-to albums.
Still sitting firmly behind his mirade of percussion instruments, Stochansky found something unique and breathtaking in this album. Lake Alaska 4am is, to this day, one of my favorite tracks to mellow out to. Poem for a Small Boy prompted me to run out and buy a Calimba. All in all, the work was inspiring.
True, it does tend to hit off-notes from time to time; notable occurances include the last track, which, while good on its own, hits you like a big ol' brick from the great blue beyond.
All said and done, this is still a great disc, and i would recommend it to anyone looking for something with good lasting power."
