In a nutshell, this album fails to escape the most basic type of flaw; there's not a single thing bad with this album. Compared to the man's other works, his voice on this one doesn't sound like a robot, which is truly captivating. He must have been sent to vocal training or something, because I was pleasantly surprised when I heard his voice. With him sounding soulful, energized, passionate, and touching, this is by far his best effort. Not to mention, the songs delivered here are easy-on-the-ear, warm, catchy, reflecting, and in my honest opinion, career-defining. Songs like 'Fallen Down', 'Horizon', 'Drive', and 'Cocoon' represent this in a positive way, without a doubt. You won't ever hear me handing compliments out like this, because this is an album I will cherish for a lifetime.
