ok, it's my fault. i ordered it and i'm not asking for my money back.there are some very intelligent reviews posted for this cd, and i'm not knocking their opinions or tastes. but i can advise you to listen to *every* sound bite before you order this.the problem, for me, is that ben lee has some good riffs and occassionally very catchy lyrics. i expected more energy and less moodiness. he might be fun to catch at a a (small) local venue. but it's not a cd i will listen to much more than the 2-3 times it's worth to me.
