This album reminds me of an immersive floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall painting. The kind that has a whole room to itself. It stands apart. Like most great art, part of this album's beauty lies in its accessibility. It is every bit as enjoyable to the neophyte as it is to any veteran of the genre. Here, catchiness and complexity--both instrumentally and lyrically--exist together, not necessarily in harmony but never in opposition of each other. Stand before this work and allow it to draw you in. Jan-Michael Archer
I like to pretend I have a really talented friend who recorded this album as a gift. That's what it feels like; a gift from a stupidly close friend. sherryking
