I bought this album after Bad Day was released. I just really liked the song. I didn't know anything about the guy who sang it. I am a bit out of it with the modern day music (although I am only 26) so I really didn't know what I was getting.
When I buy a new album I tend to first play a few of the songs quickly, just listen to the first few lines of each to get a feel for the album. I then start at the begining and listen for as long as I have time for. With this album I was really surprsied. After "Bad Day" I felt like I knew what the album would be like. pretty much more of the same I though. The rest of the tracks are very different form "Bad day" which I think is very suitable for the British Public's taste. The rest of the songs I don't think will be as commonly liked.
The rest of the tracks have a very R & B gentle feel. He reminded me a lot like Tracy Chapman who I always liked. He has such a harrowing voice that I really enjoyed listening to the album. My favourite tracks are Bad Day, Jimmy Gets High, Song 6.
On the bad side of things I have played Bad Day over and over and now dont really listen to the song as the others that are not favourites all tend to sound the same. A good album which I have played to death and now probably wont listen to again in a while..
I would reccomend your borrow the album before you buy because Bad Day is not a true reflection on the rest of the album.
