I have listened to this album more than any other album i own. The first time you hear the songs they are amazing and with each listen they only get better. I highly recommend this album and would recommend this album to any of my friends. If you are a fan of bob dylan i think track 3 will blow you away. If your at the tail-end of a bad relationship the is no consolation like Liza's apartment. In summary if its this album or any other album you would not go wrong with the Cure for Death

Next Jack Johnson?!
author: Marisa
Sometimes it takes a while for a songwriter to get the attention he deserves. In this case Josh is not the next Jack Johnson, he is the much more raw original. He does not fit into the existing pop manipulations of the folk genre, nor is he totally folk himself. While he does pay a delicate tribute to his musical influences, he does not take the successes of the folk genre and just use them as a formula. And in his lyrics is a darkness that is not recycled, it is completely his own and will strike you as mythic in its familiarity yet centered on a dilemma that belongs entirely to the 21st century: how do we cast about in this cynical, frank, sarcastic time, and still make our words and actions mean a thing? He takes risks, you can feel it in the music, that his heart is on the line here. He may never make it big, but um, big isn't folk, by definition.
