Great hooks and intelligent lyrics. These songs are very melodic and simple and at times quite funny.

  • Really good songs with catchy hooks.
    author: Donald Newton

    The songs on this album are really well put together. They remind me of Beck like the other reviewer said. I thought the production a little muddy in some places and not really clear but the songs themselves stand out. Good job.

  • Great songs, interesting lyrics and a good sense of humor.

    I listened to all the streams of this album and figured it was worth a shot. I hear a lot of music, lots of which I'm not impressed by but I was pretty taken with the songwriting on this album. For someone I've never heard of it sounded like these songs should be widely known. Great variety with interesting and sometimes quite funny lyrics, too. This guy should be picked up by some label. Great album.

  • Compelling, powerful, song writing.

    This is a rare effort. I liked the songwriting and the compositions very much. Especially the textural aspects of the production. The music is deeply original and utilizes influences in an authentic way. If you like Beck, if you like blues, if you like Parliament. Well - check Mindskating out. Nuff said....
