Overall, very solid. Lots of the Tracks on the album are truly excellent (10,000 Emerald Pools, Dopamine, Electric Love) however, it's bogged down by some very boring songs that aren't necessarily bad by any stretch of the imagination, just very uninspired and bland (Overnight Sensation, The Emotion, Holy Ghost) and don't have that awesome "oomph" that my favorite songs on the album have. Overall, it's a killer debut album and BORNS is definitely an artist I'll be looking out for. Because of the first three songs I mentioned (and others that are also good) there's potential here for his next album to be truly brilliant.
