This is better than the debut, no question. Not as many duds in the middle section like the first record. Also a lot more consistent and adventurous.

Favorite Tracks: Wounded, 10 Days Late, Never Let You Go, Deep Inside of You, The Red Summer Sun, Farther, Darkness, Darwin

Least Favorite: 1000 Julys
