Album Review

Reviewed 2006-03-02
Dylan lite? Male singer/songwriter (thickly Swedish accented vocals) plays electric guitar, backed with bass/drums/piano. Rockin’ folk. On the one hand seems silly (to the point of referencing Zabriskie Point non-ironically in the last track, which emphasizes and embodies the mis-adaptation of American culture) and I want to laugh at it but then I sing along too so ... ? I know this isn’t a great review sorry don’t know what else to say.

1.Dramatic crescendo in last verse!
+2.Rocker, chorus reminds me of some hit-song…
3.If I heard a bar band playing this I’d be pleased. Title reminds me of San Fran
4.Piano ballad plods, band joins in, goth!
+5.slow w/lyrics so bad they're great!
6.mid-slow, annoyed at previous lover
7.minor-key, mid-slow, some OK electric piano near middle
+8.upbeat, rock piano and cowbell
9.heavy-handed drums. Great guitar sound. Loud
10.pretty good playing, acoustic guitar & violin, long-distance affair song
+11.combines acoustic, piano, and some electric to good effect
12.Upbeat “I’m over you (sorta)” style of song
