4.0 out of 5 stars More Falkner goodness, October 29, 2007

This album doesn't knock me out like his major label debut (Presents Author Unknown), but it is a solid effort in the vein of the follow-up Can You Still Feel. You'll hear echoes of Kinks, Beatles, McCartney, the softer side of XTC, and other greats of melodic pop. Jason has absorbed a great many influences, and he whips them all together into rich musical stew. When you hear his composing skill on display in these new tunes, it really does break your heart that Jason can't get the budget and promotion he deserves. Actually, Jason seems to do pretty well producing his own stuff, but in sheer audio quality terms, it is not the best.

McCartney is a good reference point. This album is better than anything McCartney has put out in years. Chaos and Creation was a good album, and Jason was one of the studio musicians working with McCartney on it. But Jason's album has more energy and authenticity in my book.

If you've heard Falkner's work before, you know what to expect. No surprises here, good or bad. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I cannot understand why in a world of "American Idols" Jason Falkner can't be taken more seriously. His work is just as radio-friendly, he's as good a performer, and it has much more depth than the singers being churned out of the "Idol factory." Just another example of perversity in the music biz, I guess.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm OK... You're consistently wonderful, August 10, 2007

It's ridiculous that this is only available as an import so far, but believe me the cost is well worth it! Every track is a keeper, and the bonus track easily stands with the others. That said, how can it be a bonus track if this is the only version released so far? What makes a track a "bonus" when it's not even stylistically different from the others. When I think bonus, I think tossed off live version of a studio track, or sounds of a band goofing around in the studio, or something to that effect.

Anyway, this is beautiful music that will help you feel good. There's a lot of sunshine and love in this. It soars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Long awaited and worth it, May 3, 2007

Again another brilliant album from Jason Falkner. As expected it is full of hooky tasty songs as well as some more introspective moments. Well worth the wait.
