Title: Take a chance on this one
Review: First off, I'm a rabid fan of John's first two solo albums, so you might want to take my review with a grain of salt. I was a little disappointed in this record at first, but i've heard it 3 times now and its starting to grow from me. It's somewhat removed from the earlier works, having dropped a lot of the backward guitar and added 80's sounding synth and drum machines in many of the songs. Also, John's got teeth now, which makes the lyrics a tad clearer. There's tons of inventive guitar work, some thoughful lyrics and a nice overall rainy sunday afternoon feel. I'd recommend this for all fans of his previous work and anyone who enjoys lo-fi home recordings. This is not train wreck music, so if yr trying to buy this to listen to someone who's lost his mind or is so smacked out he cant chord a guitar, go buy something else you rubbernecker. Glad yr back John.
