It is so nice to finally have the CD in my hot little hand! I listened to both CDs in order and Glenn's sequencing is perfect.
A few observations:
My favorite song, hands down, is Waiting in the Weeds. It is a masterpiece.
It has been funny to read some critics' comments about Do Something and Fast Company, since we have been listening to them for almost are year now and they are no longer "new."
I really like both of Joe's songs. They are upbeat and quirky and ideal for Joe. I feel the same way about I Don't Want to Hear Anymore--Timothy's voice sounds so poignant and wistful.
You Are Not Alone and I Dreamed There Was No War are both lovely--they are just too short! Iwanted them to go on longer.
Frail Grasp is another favorite. Unlike Nancy, the more I listen to this, the more I like it. The driving beat is infectious and the rhyming cadence of some of the lyrics are hysterical: "You keep rubbing that you’re gonna get a blister” "All waiting for that miracle elixir" and “You brought her here, so go ahead and kiss her.”
Not to mention the line everyone can identify with: “who left the cap off the freakin’ toothpaste?” I like the "soul-sucking" line in Business As Usual too--very clever.
It's Your World Now almost made me cry too!
I have played Somebody over & over as perfect mood music here on the eve of Halloween, with its references to tombstones & the Jack O'lantern moon.
And finally, I am waiting to write about the title track until I have listened to it enough time to feel comfortable commenting about it.

Cute t-shirt too. It is sort of a light tan (almost cream) with the picture that is on the back of the CD plus the title. It's great.

I thought IDTWNW sounded a bit like Mr Knopfler. Tell us more, Glenn.
