Well it is the most straightforward stuff he's ever done, I'm not surprised that's what might appeal.

he has such a nice voice

tbh I rate his first solo lp way above any of the M3 albums

Ha, thanks! Yeah I need to publicize that review a bit here...

great review, Ned. And the "cozy sweater folk" thing is spot on - never thought I would but I think you've made me want to get this

definitely a record where it comes on and my first instinct is kinda "yawn" but then I end up loving it.

Anyone else (UK) pre-order it from Sonic Cathedral? I got the 7" with it, will be able to report on the album when I finally get the shrinkwrap open.

The album is very nice. I think I like it more than 'Oh, Mighty Engine' at the moment.

Saw him last night, good show. Seems like an all around good guy. He played Alison and 40 Days for the encore

i don't like how he went from shoegaze to wuss-rock... though some of his wuss-rock is ok, i guess.

Re-listened to his solo debut for the first time in 15 years. Such a great front-to-end record. Probably up there with Souvlaki in his discography.

Yeah Ive always thought this record was underrated. I could never get into any of his other solo stuff but consider this a minor classic.
