No, I'm not a speed junkie at all. I enjoy David Gray, actually, and he certainly does have a lot of slow songs. And this was a good album, but I found that it became bogged down. Like a good book, even during the slow parts, the reader should feel compelled to forge on to see what happens next. It should be true of music as well... even the slow parts should hold my attention. Perhaps if the songs were in a different order so that I didn't have to sit through three sad, depressing songs in a row at times, maybe it would've fared better in my opinion. Still, I would suggest that anyone who enjoys folksy/bluesy music should give this album a listen, because my opinion can't possibly reflect everyone's tastes.
