4 out of 5 stars Some GREAT pop rock songs!.......2005-12-30

This is a pretty uneven album, but it contains some really great songs. The first two, "A Single Kiss" and "For This One", especially (with it's R.E.M./Ocean Blue-ish jangly guitars), are absolutely classic songs which unfortunately nobody has ever heard (even if they borrow heavily from those two bands). These two basically trump the rest of the tracks. After "For This One" is where things start to get uneven, but in no way are the other songs bad. The rest seems to leave the extreme catchiness of the first two tracks in favor of more generalized pop rock. It's not bad, but it doesn't always work as well as it probably could have - most of them have sections where the musicianship is interesting or the lyrics are good which helps the song even if the entire thing isn't that great. The singer, fortunately, also has a very pleasant voice which I think most people will love. Because a good number of the rest of the songs contain these interesting moments, and the fact that the first two songs are so great, I give this 4 stars. Recommended for jangle pop fans as well as the curious.

"A Single Kiss"
"For This One"
"Abba On The Jukebox"
"Last Summertime's Obsession"
