It’s such a nice surprise when you buy a CD for a couple of singles and then find that you like all the rest of the songs on the album. Gran Turismo certainly provided this surprise. From the stirring sounds of the first song, “Paralyzed” to the somewhat haunting chords of the last track, “Nil,” the album is full of songs which will get into your head and stay there. You’ve probably heard the singles “Erase/Rewind” and “My Favourite Game”, and they give you some idea of the kind of material which is on the album. Although most of the songs have a rather dark feel, one of the standout tracks, “Junk Of The Hearts” is very uplifting, despite the lyrics. This is a great album.
