A lot of reviews have said this album takes time to grow on you.. and I'd agree with that.. but many albums are like that.. while at times themes, and lyrics can seem slightly repetitive, Cope's musical style is totally innovative and i think he's a great musiciian. This album has some real gems. "Back Together," "Every Waking Moment," "More Than It Seems," "Somehow," "Left for Dead." The album is pretty good all around. If you've never listened to Cope, I definitely recommend him.

(Note: My rating standard is based on the best Beatles albums being 5 stars. So the closest any non-beatle can get is 4.5 stars. This album taken in that light, is very impressive.)
