Actually, "Samurai" and "Boku" aren't all that similar. The tracks on "Samurai" are a little longer and more coherant than on "Boku" and he actually throws in a good helping of delightful melodies. The whole album just makes me think of kids riding anound on BMX bikes throwing rocks and breaking things. Personally, "Samurai" is a much stronger album with a lot more flow. Not to mention you get a cool little bogdan sticker in the liner notes. phat. I picked it up for $19 u.s. at Record Service in Champaign, IL. Well worth it. -andrew $buy it$
