Ram is definately fun. I always heard a nod to Brian Wilson in this CD. I think if you go through Ram and really listen to it you will hear all the layering of positive feelings and rich harmonies and solid songwriting. I lot of variety but still it holds together with a 'sound'. Definately a CD one should have in their collection if they are a Mac fan. If you love melody you should be a Mac fan. This is not a deep lyrical masterpiece. Just 'smile away'.
