The best thing about this record, other then the title, is the first track. I put it on my itunes and every time it comes up I pause and listen. It has this sort of light strumming guitar and a nice soothing voice telling us how things should be. Not that Yoria offers us any alternative - but the concept and message is there and the light grace works.
I’ve listened to this record so many times it’s grown on me now, but I think it has a lot to do with its great mix job and the fact Yori can play; sing and even compose (nicely complex.)
Then the 2nd track comes on like a midnight fog (whatever that means) loaning itself to a late night listen. I guess you would call it soft rock, or that awful category, Adult Contemporary, but to tell you the truth, it’s pretty good and I hate easy listening.
The only thing is it’s ends with hand claps.
Then the 3rd track arrives; the originality falters and we have a Great Big Sea vibe building to a happy conclusion. The rest the album is essentially unlistenable to these ears, oh except for track 7 which has this sort of rockabilly-groove vibe that works: Should have been a 5 track EP, but great work nonetheless (I guess.) He has a future.
