It doesn't look like anybody's started a thread on this yet, so I will carpe diem and announce that this album absolutely blew me away! Fabulous stuff!!! Enters my list at #7, with the potential to climb even higher. I think the likes of billy g, PoD and ayah will definitely dig this.

I still have to give this a listen. How are the arrangements and production on this? I thought the Bacharach collaboration stuff was super sappy.

be more interesting if he called A Tous what he called Ray Charles

This is not sappy at all...very fresh and vibrant. Though the subject matter is weighty at times, you can tell they had an absolute blast recording this.

Yeah, but that's not why Ray couldn't read, either, Fu.

PM me for a YSI, and I'll fire it over to you over the weekend. This applies to all who are interested. Except for Cotton. Fuck that cocksucker.

(I realize this would be so much funnier WITHOUT the winky, but I can't risk C. Nanker Worthington mistakenly thinking I'm serious. I lurv that bastard.)
