Spot on. This is what i thought hearing this album.

It's one of the better tracks in the album imo along with Sell me a Coat and I live my Dream but the one i actually liked enough to save to a playlist was Little Bombardier.

This is pretty good for a 1st album but it sounds a bit like a mess of his influences and his vocal stylings and corny narrative sometimes ruined the songs for me (exmpl: There is a happy land). Instrumentally i think this album is solid but honestly i only got 2 songs from the album i really liked, the rest I'll probably never listen to again.

2/10
