Whos to say we wont hear something new and fresh from him in a few years
anyways?
I like the album. I agree that its not really pushing any new boundries, but
I think its quite enjoyable, and versitile. I like how
the album covers a wide range of styles but keeps (for the most part) a
similar feel. I haven't listened to it long enough to compare it with the
rest of his work....but I'm quite satisfied with the album.
