This was one of the first albums I bought through Apple / iTunes. after the fall of Limewire and Napster. I think I fell in love with David Gray's White Ladder and Elbow's Cast of Thousands about the same time. It seemed like a safe bet. Tho good, this is not as polished or as consistent as Cast of Thousands. Definitely not a waste of $9.99 but that money could've been better used elsewhere. Like on a sixer of High Life and a couple of 7-Layer burritos.
