Title: It's awful.........ly great!
Product review: Sure, I consider myself enlightened and open-minded. I listened to the samples and didn't get it. But one review struck me: "accept it on it's own terms." So I bought it.When I popped it into my home stereo and heard the grating voice of Jeff Magnum, especially on the second song, I had to quickly turn the volume down in embarrassment. Awful.A day later I played it for my 14 year-old son saying "so I missed on this one...isn't it awful?"The next day I listened to it in my car. Still awful, but there was something...A couple of listens later it clicked. And it became the most exquisite CD I've ever heard.It's been about two years since then, and it has become my most cherished musical treasure. And the funny thing is, my three kids -- 16, 14 and 12 years old have all downloaded it on to their iPOD's. They feel it too.I'm just very glad that I "get it" and that I've passed it on to another generation. Truly a "life-changing" musical maseterpiece.
