My first listen to the album was on my headphones, sick as a dog, walking to the pharmacy to pick up prescriptions, my head feeling like it was encased in layers of gauze. Even though I was feeling like crap, it was a perfect condition to be in for these songs—slightly out of it, feeling like I was drifting through the world. I like this album a lot, and though I think it's more of a grower than an album that immediately jumps out at you, I'm sure sure I'll be putting it on when I'm feeling mellow for a long time to come.

Yeah, I listened to this album again this morning after not hearing it for a while. I'd forgotten how different that first track was, and yes, it's definitely not very indicative of how the rest of the album sounds. I'm glad you, as well as rezz and sidewinder, stuck with it though, and ended up digging it. "Grower" isn't a bad thing in my book.

My favorite track on Admit One is "African Cherry". Something about it always makes me picture a hunter or a stalker creeping from tree to tree in a forest as they follow their prey. Then about halfway thru the song, the two come face to face in a clearing and circle each other, trying to decide what their next move will be. As the tension builds, they move closer and closer to each other, eying each other cautiously, and then...the prey scurries away, home free.
