Initial impression is that there seems to be a very bleak feel to this, almost Depeche Mode without the synths, and it appears to be very bass-driven, kind of sparse and lean, though it fills out much more solidly as the second track gets underway. “Purple” reminds me of U2 (shut it) and overall I'd say a solid album with really no bad tracks, but still kind of failed to engage me for the whole album, not quite sure why.
