A work of beautiful hypnotic melancholy brilliance!!

"Michael Aston has proven his worth outside of Gene Loves Jezebel, and has far surpassed them with this album. His powerful and expressive voice just simply drags you in and holds you in a hypnotic trance as he weaves his often heart-wrenching tales, only you to shake you up and make you sway with a happy smile with "Rather Wine" at the end. The album starts off very strong with "Avalon SW10" and "Why Me-Why This-Why Now" (makes you wonder what happened between Michael & Jay) and just continues with a wonderful flow through to the end. This is an album that I feel should have received more attention, both from music lovers and musicians. It is within my top ten favorites, an album that no matter what mood I'm in, or when I can't decide what to listen to, I can always pop in and be satisfied with. The only other piece of music that can boast the same would be "The Wall" by, of course, Pink Floyd. This is a must for any Gene Loves Jezebel fan, as well as anyone who likes great songwriting."
