Man Alive will not be to everyone's tastes, but for those who like daring and original music, complete with incredible vocals and harmonies, it will be considered a bit of an oddball masterpiece.

Finally an album thats not get to heaven where the slower songs don't make the whole thing drag, really enjoyed most of the songs here
