This album didn't grab me on my first listen, but after four weeks of shuffling through my new albums, I realized that I liked almost every song. It wasn't intentional - I had already written it off - but I can't argue with my ratings. I guess it was a grower. Practically, every song has something interesting going on. It sounds like he is trying different things out and worrying less about a consistent sound. My favorite songs are "Boss Americana" and "Bargain Of A Century", but if you are missing the Strokes, check out "Miss Myrtle".

I totally have a squishy and gooey spot in my heart for AHJ.
You make it sound like you have a spot for him in your stuffy nose.
I've read brasilliant's blog, and feel I must ask, what are you doing buying new CDs?! You're going to have to bring another crate!
Seriously though, I love Albert Hammond Jr.
The wizard sez you probably downloaded it. He's such a kill joy.
Well, I'd like to say that I've moved completely over to the digital format during this period of material reduction, but unfortunately I'm still buying CDs, mostly just to spleen Brasilliant.
Although, he's right about the AHJ.
The AHJ is my second favorite type of HJ!
..too far? sorry..
Never.
HEY! Where's Ve1cro's Top-5 list?!
I right with you Wizard...
"It's $10 for a BJ, $12 for an HJ, $15 for a ZJ... [Interrupting] What's a ZJ?... If you have to ask, you can't afford it... I've got $4."
Wow. My head hasn't been in the gutter often enough lately since I only JUST now got Wizard's comment. Hysterical. What does $4 get.. cuz I only have 3... lol
