Cool. I think his voice is not as full as on APPT. There is no way of getting around this. Refresh your memory and listen to APPT and it is very apparant. Compressing sound files (just like smoking!) also has a negative effect on some peoples vocal quality so I am hoping the actual CD sounds better.
It's hard for me to have an opinion on the songwriting being the sound clips are so short. Still, one of the songs grabbed me and I can't wait to hear the whole thing.
His best work? Not even close.
From what I've heard, I'd have to say the opposite. APPT was recorded at Grant Avenue, but it was mastered in a Nashville studio, where they are known for compressing songs into pancakes. APPT is way too compressed and flat sounding to me.
I think his voice sounds warmer and more natural on everything I've heard so far from the new CD.
