very cool!.......2005-03-03

i really like this record. it is very unique and has alot of different styles on it. if rufus wainwright and thom yorke had a son, it would be jon kelby. great production by shannon fields of the silent league and stars like fleas. this isnt really a pop record. some of it is kind of dark, but even as you are brooding, you cant help but tap your feet. some of the songs really stay in your head. my favorites were swallow, two color, and the last track called frankenstein. very resommended!!
