This CD love me long time.
I love the album. I think it's one of the most complex and individual sounds in this area. Lots of classic sounds revisited and expanded into a new context. As far as the writing goes, to me, there is a small group of people in Texas that write lyrics I remember, or care to remember, Luke is one of those people. To sum, the CD is Shimmering Post-Modern Pop.
If you're bored with everything that's going on then this is your solution. From start to finish, every song is memorable and meaningful, fun and substantial. Highly recommended to any serious music fan.
Picking a number to rate this album is hard. Is it a 4 or 5 I don't really know, but what I do know is that the album represents Luke. If you get to enjoy his contagious live performances you will enjoy his work even more. Seeing Luke and then pushing play after you have "experienced" Luke will fill your soul with musical bliss.
Be sure to listen to the album as a whole rather than piece by piece. You will get a better understanding of who Luke is musically. He wears his heart and soul on his sleeve and isn't afraid to stand naked before his fans.
If I had to choose a song or two that I have listened to repeatedly they would be Hand-Me-Down and Poison.
