| Although Darren is still maturing, this album is nowhere near as good as his previous one. It's sad because about half of these songs I found really wonderful, fresh, interesting, moving (Tuning of Violins, Casey, Lion's Heart, Neverland) but then mixed in with these songs is...the other half of the album, which is boring (Hundred Challenging Things), sappy (I Just Want You To Love Me), and at times, cringe-inducing (Listen All You People). It could have been a brilliant single-disc album, because the good songs are so good! I'm curious to hear what he'll come up with next.. |
