after listening to the SL countless times through (and enjoying it too), i still believe if is inferior to the previous 2 recordings. i agree that it shares alot in common with HFAYTD, but it is to incohesive. its not like i blame him though, he had alot better material to write about previously and it came out more natural. i think we can safely say kevin barnes has fashioned a brilliant blend of funky electro pop , but needs to be more patient in connecting the dots. i think he did a lot of the writing for this album on tour... which may explain its lack of structure. much love for the funky bastard, lets hope he has more HFAYTD/SP left in him.
