It's not the young & trendy numbness of abel & co, but a beaten down, at-the-end-of-the-rope-so-I-might-as-well-laugh disenchantment. It felt refreshing to me, at least. I haven't listened to it in a while though.

I wondered why people I knew suddenly wanted to discuss how awesome they found Confessions in 2004.

listening to his peak era albums in advance of this weekend. my way is very refreshing as a cd-era r&b album that comes in at a cool 9 songs, 36 minutes. all the songs are pretty good, too.

new album is okay. still excited for his performance

Confessions is that uncommon thing: the biggest album is the best album. I dig My Way too.

"Kissing Strangers" off the new album is him at his midtempo best

Rollerskating while singing live on that stage was crazy ballsy.
