When i bought this album for a friend I didn't think much of it, but Ive found that this album definately grows on you.. Its an easy album to listen to and has an accoustic feel to it.. In a way it reminds me of Daniel Beddingfieds' last album but without the synth sounds.. Under the Influence (*1) is a good opening track, upbeat and a catchy tune.
You Give me Something (*2) is one of the tracks that was recently released in the UK charts, and I believe it went to number 1. A song about falling in love i think. A good song that will have you humming the song to yourself at times..
Wonderfull World (*3) Is another that reached the top 2 in the UK charts. Very accoustic and a happy, upbeat feel to it.. Definately one that will stand out in the album.
Pieces Dont Fit Anymore (*4) Is the track that is currently in the UK charts (17/02/07). It also seems to be rising in the charts very quickly so must mean that a lot of people like it. A sad song but at the same time uplifting.. I think this song is about a relationship breakdown he might of experienced. This is one of my favourite tracks on this album and i would definately recommend the album to a friend just because of this song.
One Last Chance (*5) is very bass'y.. A song about his troubles and that he has one more chance to get his life together.. Its a very poignant song and is another i find myself humming to when im trying to get to sleep at night.. ( verry annoying.. lol )
Undiscovered (*6).. The next UK release from the album.. He talks about not being lost, just undiscovered. Another good track that will no doubt rate high in the charts. This song has only 2 guitars in it hence the accoustic feel.
Letter (*7). One of the tracks that is not quite to my taste. Although its a good track its just not my kind. Still its easy to listen to and a catchy tune.. My overall rating of this song would be around the 6 mark so not tottaly a dissaster
Call The Police (*8) is a nice easy tune. One of the tracks that you tend to forget about when telling someone about the album, but doesn't mean its no good.
This Boy (*9) is a sad song, i think its about someone who's been left all alone and needs someone to be with.. Its a very good song and sticks in your head for hours and hours after listening to it... Another one of the good songs of the album.
If The Rain Must Fall (*10). Another catchy tune which shows James' vocal range. Another good song that you can sit and relax to.
How Come (*11). One of my least favourites of the album.. Again im not saying that its no good, just not my usuall kind.. Quite an upbeat song but nothing to write home for..
Last Goodbye (*12). Another quite sad song thats easy to listen to. A good sound to it and catchy tune. After ive had an album for a few months i tend to skip some tracks and listen to my favourites, and this track is one I stop on to listen to..
Better Man (*13). My favourite.. This track has only one accoustic guitar in it. A very catchy tune and sticks in your head for hours on end.. A kind of love song but upbeat.. This song is definately my favourite and I could never get sick of hearing it..
Overall this album is very good.. One that will be in my CD rack for years to come. A sad album which will grab you and leave you wanting more. I would definately reccomend it to a friend and anyone who asks.. Out of all the albums ive got this one is definately in my top 10..

I've only heard a couple of James Morrison's songs and they have seemed okay, so may have to give this a listen to. Especially if it is similar to Daniel Beddingfield.
