Almost great
I love Tom Vek and I love most of this album. But 'The Girl...' is literally the worst song I've ever heard. Literally. All the other songs on the record are either very good or good (with 'Sherman' being outstanding), but 'The Girl...' is actually toe-curlingly shoddy. There's a moment when Tom's voice wanders off-key (horribly so) and for some reason, despite normally being such a perfectionist, he decided to leave this in. I love the idea of being a bit punk and showing the human side of music, but not when everything else is so clinical - the bit I'm talking about sticks out like a sore thumb. It actually makes me wince. In fact, it's a moment awful enough to deduct a star from my Amazon review. Listen to the track - you'll know the bit I mean. Jesus...

not that good compared to his first cd
when tom vek started out his first cd was so groundbreaking that I thought I had found another beck type singer/songwriter with some of the best songs I had heard for years. his second cd although disappointing was good enough for me to want to carry on and give another chance as the second cd is always very difficult after such a fantastic debut. this the third outing is however a mish mash of songwriting styles that seem to have the appearance of another rushed song and incomplete third cd sorry tom I thought i had so much to look forward too

Listen to this a bunch. Mr Vek is super talented.

Bought the album on the strength of 'Sherman', and I dug the preview of other tracks, but I'm sorry to say the whole album is rather disappointing and not as catchy as Sherman. I appreciate anything different and weird, but it still has to be listenable. The vocals were too casually off-tone and "talky" for my taste. I don't understand the rationale putting 'The Girl you wouldn't leave for any other Girl' in the album, it sounds like a drunken studio session. I do like the programming and synths though, I just think the vocals should be more polished.

Album is fine but Amazon really has dropped the ball when it comes to shipping LPs lately. Seriously.... the flimsy cardboard mailer is just one step above putting the label on the record itself. I guess they'll try that next.
