The album's first track is by far the greatest and got me excited. Sort of a soft indie rock vibe. The voice is a bit odd,but once you get used to it it is kind of nice - not always though, some notes are still a bit of a stretch for the singer. But all in all it is a sweet track. For the rest, bar the odd nice guitar or melody and the album conclusion which is quite nice builidng up a rock explosion into a downwards piano piece, the album is a huge protracted bore where I ended up skipping through tracks. It is just ballad after ballad of mellow acoustic guitar plus ambience and most importantly the bad vocals. It's not the voice, but rather the singing technique. 3's a clear example where the vocals are just not in the notes quite often. 5's a bit nicer and more upbeat, but yeah album's a drag. 1.5
