My husband and I preordered this as soon as we found out about the solo album and it definitely did not disappoint. Having long been fans of the Get Up Kids and then the New Amsterdams, we looked forward to seeing what direction Matt Pryor's music would go next. Once the CD arrived neither one of us could get enough of the catchy, get-stuck-in-your-head album. We've since been trading it back and forth so we can both get our fix. This album is an even more stripped down version of the New Ams, with even more emotion pouring out! We are seeing him Wednesday night and can't wait to hear the live versions!

I've followed Matt Pryor's career through The Get Up Kids, The New Amsterdams, The Terrible Twos, and now his own solo album. How can this guy write 16 albums or more worth of material in an 11 year span and still be absolutely awesome? You kind of get where I'm going with this review then I suppose...

Confidence Man is his first solo effort, and it doesn't disappoint. The album is quite similar to a New Amsterdams sound, but with what seems to be more personal lyrics.

Pryor is one of my all time favorite artists, and I'm not a fan of the "folksie, singer-songwriter" type. In fact I doubt you could find another one in my music library. But there's something about the way the man writes. This is a great addition to his library. And parents don't forget to check out "The Terrible Twos" which is basically kids music by the New Amsterdams. It's great to have catchy, fun songs for your kids done by an artist you can appreciate too.

Title says it all. After a year I still can't get enough of this album. Every song is brilliant.
