Title: Even better than I'd hoped
Review: I've been a David Grey fan for a couple of years now, and was pleased that he had a new album coming out. After seeing him live in a small club (I've never seen an audience cheer so hard for an encore), I knew I had to have the new album.I was a bit put off at first by the techno beats he'd been using on the songs I'd heard before buying it; Mr. Gray has always been very straight-forward in his musical stylings -- nothing artificial or contrived. But that fear faded at once when I got the album in the CD player. Start to finish, this is easily up to par with his previous three albums -- maybe even better, which is saying a lot. The music is smooth, atmospheric, and heartfelt. The electronic portions fade right in; they're used as an effective tool, rather than simply to make the music seem trendily cool.It's been a long time since I latched onto an album this quickly. If you've heard anything at all by Mr. Gray and liked it, get this album. You won't be disappointed.
