This album, firstly, is absolutely worth more than the £4.99 you'll pay for it. The lyrics alone are worth paying the money for. But you'll be able to love or hate this CD within the first four and a half minutes.
Because Starsailor have such a unique sound, their songs do not sound like they vary much, and therefore can sound monotonous. Which is okay if you love them, and not so great if you don't.
It's hard to get past the general whining tone if you don't appreciate Starsailor for their diverse style. (And when I say diverse, I mean different, not varied!)
In my opinion, track 3 is the one to listen to. It's emotional, mellow, atmospheric and proves Starsailor can write songs, despite the repetitiveness.

A bit more info about instrument/style/vocals and other tracks would make this more useful. If you do add, let me know in my guestbook for a re-rate :-)

Advantages: Sublime lyrics and great musical performance all round Disadvantages: Why the silence and a pointless bit at the end, inlay could be better
