I listened to about half the songs and I don't know if I'll finish it or not. Frankly, everything sounds recycled and derivative.

Bill: It seems to me that the slower tunes, with the dazzling, trademark Davies' melodies, are the perfect showcases for Ray's still-affecting and gorgeous vocals. Thanks for the comment.

Excellent review. One of the few that have picked up on the finer, slower tunes. They are worth the price of the record and I have all of them. Keep up the good work!

Grab it. I was surprised an album with such strengths -- especially "Imaginary Man" and "The Real World" -- came along so quickly on the heels of the 2006 album.

I thought of you when I almost picked this up last night. I might have to soon correct myself and grab a copy.
