I think GIRLFRIEND is his best album, but I did enjoy most/all of the next
four (ALTERED BEAST through IN REVERSE). I was really stoked for this year's
release SUNSHINE LIES but it has yet to do it for me, probably among my
biggest letdowns of the year (albeit tempered by my great expectations...I
will revisit it again soon). Ironically it was probably the inverse that
made me love GIRLFRIEND so much - I had almost no expectations and was
floored upon first listen, which if I remember was too late for the Audities
poll. :)
