I just gave my copy a first spin, and I think Michael has really nailed it.
This could be the record that really puts Popboomerang on the map. I won't
say that Reid is as good as Neil Finn, but the comparison fits and Reid
doesn't suffer much when put next to that living legend. What struck me
during my first listen was how I got more into it as the tracks went by, and
how it just sounds right --this record just sounds like it was meant to be,
y'know?
