It is, as we all know, against the law to get up if a cat is sleeping on your lap. It is a further violation of international treaty to do this if the cat has its nose tucked into your hand. Luckily for us all, I am afraid of being sent to The Hague, so I actually finished sitting through this album today because I got entrapped in such a manner. I don't know who this artist is so I apologize if I'm deeply off the target here, but it sounded like it was trying so hard to be edgy. Every vocal felt like someone screaming "I'm really cool!!! I know a few jazz chords!!!" (sometimes literally screaming). It's amazing just how many components here are components of music I really like, and in this particular arrangement I found every single song difficult to get through.
