This album is really a grower, as his voices quirks (ie the ups and downs and the little yelps here and there) really start to sink in after 3 to 4 listens, and you can finally concentrate on the beautiful lyricism. The extra instrumentation is an amazing highlight, too. "Sweet Thing" wouldn't be the same without that amazing 'twirly' sound the woodwinds give off. I'm sad that I can't stand any of his other work, though.
