Buy it! Like it! 

tHis new album was really good to listen to while driving two hours back to the hotel where I left behind my computer's POWER, my breath.

I was just thinking about whether I wanted to buy his new solo project or not.  After being such a huge fan of Radiohead for so many years I guess I was afraid that it wouldn't be as good.  I can move on with my life now that I have your recommendation!

Okay!  Bought it.  love it.  On this one I couldn't help but to think about the album is a study on stiffling emotion or things boiling to the surface but somehow keeping the lid on the pot, so to speak.  It seems it's a very intentional thing to musically transmit a very strong sense of frustration.  I love it all the same.  It's very consistent and not at all unlike Radiohead, just more personalized I feel.  However, rather than “breaking out” in a traditional sort of way Thom is “breaking out” by showing just how truly frustrated he is by everything.  That's my two cents and I would have to agree with you on recommending this short and sweet album.

Yeah… the lyrics are really clear and to the point. I initially thought he was having some personal relationship issues he may have been dealing with when writing this album. We could all relate to that

Anyway, glad you liked it Sean! Hey i love music…all kinds. If you know of any other good stuff, please recommend. I am about to embark on a really exciting but long road trip up to the east coast and could use it.
