i bought this album about a year ago & only really liked the first
half.  some of the songs are down right annoying.  some of them,
however, are all bubbly & soothing -- i usually skipped to those, which
did grow on me after a few listens.  then again, i lent it to my ex a
while ago & i haven't heard it since, & i'm not really missing it.  i
doubt there's much of a change in style in his other album.
