Of course, my feeling about this CD is very subjective - but that's not always with music (or art in general) so? For me, the joy of playing the musicians is palpable. Have fun at what they do - and you can hear that. The CD has a good sound and not sound so sterile and cold as so many other commercial production. However, anyone who stands on casted and hyped singer with voice unit could so have his problems with the disc. Laurie's voice is an original - just right for this kind of music! I love this album even after repeated listening a lot of fun and I hope there's more!
