I started listening to some albums I didn't pay much attention to earlier in the year. And this really stands out to me. It's really good. Good singer/songwriter with pop sensabilities yet earnest.

Damn. I did a search but didn't see it.


Don't really hear the Springsteen in it.

I'm with Rads on this one. Although a spork would do in a pinch.

I really didn't like his s/t. But I don't mind this one so much. It grew on me a lot. In my top 10 but not top 5.

This is a great album. I saw him perform 5-6 songs at an in-store earlier this year and he seemed really down to earth.

The only thing that bugs me about this album is the last song's chorus has almost the exact same melody as that R.E.M. song "Man on the Moon." Or at least that's what my ear hears.
