simply great
every song has a different mood, different instruments, and different (greatness?). theres not much i can say about this great album. nice job on this one ben. this is clearly some of your best work.


Ben at his best
The fact that it is ostensibly a collection of demos belies the strength of these songs and their cohesiveness as a collection. This is by far the most consistently enjoyable KOLS record. Here we find Ben's voice more controlled, the melodies stronger, the lyrics more resonant. The acoustic tracks, 23C in particular, are Ben's most mature works to date; the more anthemic, electric tunes rise to emotional heights not seen before, either. If you go for heart-on-your-sleeve singer-songwriter indie-folk/rawk confessionals, you really cannot beat this.


the word amazing is over-used, but it is fully appropriate.
clever songs about mid-20's love (complicated, long distance, open-ended), christmas misery, and post-college pre-adulthood confusion. every song on here is a paragon of indie rock songwriting. beautifully orchestrated, sometimes with acoustic guitar, wild distortion, farfisa, keyboards . . . and sometimes it's just him. get this album and you'll fall in love with it. and if you don't, odds are you'll know somebody who will and you can just pass it on to them to make their life complete.


open book to an emotional-core song writer
Ben's words cover everything that I have felt but have'nt had the courage or the passion to write down. One of the few albums that I can truely say is flirting with perfection. The music is beautiful and it will change the way you look at all other albums you own.
