This new album has got me by the balls. Just good fucking pop/rock, period.

Favorite right now is track 2 - Nothing Happening

And like always, thanks Timis.

Very, very, very good. When he sticks to good, uncomplicated simple pop songs, he can do them as well as anyone.

Is this out yet? I actually liked the last one. Wasn't as good as Sha Sha or anything, but "Hospital Bed" was a great song.

Shaun White is up top, Kweller is on the bottom.
I believe Kweller is a bit taller than Shaun White.

after one listen, this is pretty darn good, I played sha sha a lot when I first got it, and I go back to it now and then, but I kinda shelved the last one he put out, need to re-listen.

I find both Sha Sha and On My Way to be great "all the way through" discs.

Can't wait to hear this one.

Hospital Bed is a great track, this album doesnt really have a 'Hospital Bed' on it, but solid all around.

good album,

sha sha was gold, but this def. outweights On My Way. Although "Hear me out" was one of my favs.


Shaun White is more ginger, Kweller is actually shorter but more muscular.

I got this for Christmas. I'm on my second listen now. And I'm not that wowed.

'Thirteen' is straight-up boring.

'Sundress' and 'Penny On The Train Track' are good, but standard by him.

And I've already liked 'I Don't Know Why' and 'This Is War' for years so they don't really count.


I don't know. Definitely my least favorite of the third.

Forgot about this one and never picked it up. On my was a disspointment for me as Sha Sha was one of my favorite records of the year it came out. I still listen to Sha Sha quite a bit.
