| The whole album is charming the first time through, but I've been enjoying it less and less after each listen. Some of the tracks are fun and catchy on their own ("Be Gentle With Me", "Paper Cuts", and "I'm Glad I Hitched..."), but the album is too long to want to listen to all the way through more than a couple times at most. I think it's likely to be an album that people listen to a lot for a day or two, and then loose in their collection and never listen to again. | |
