This is a companion piece to Wainwright's earlier album "Want One." I really liked his previous entry, so I was excited to listen to this as well. It complemented the mood and style of the earlier album perfectly.
Wainwright experiments with many different styles of music. Amazingly, he sometimes shifts those styles in the middle of songs. He does this without making the track seem all over the place or out of focus. I liked it best when he went with an Eastern style of music but the reggae tribute was interesting as well.
More than anything, Wainwright is a great storyteller. I tend to hang onto to every word. Good stuff.
RATING: 4/5
