Track 1(Love) Nice acoustic folky start; like his voice. Song is very slow and relaxed. Reminds me of a slower early Dan Fogelberg.
Track 2(Love) A bit samey if I'm honest
Track 3(Love) This is better. Reminds me of Boatman's call-era Cave.
Track 4(Love) This one is really good. Again a certain flavour of Cave, which I guess is helped by the violins, but it's more the ambience.
Track 5(Love) This has a nice slow blues feel to it. Female duet on the chorus is nice. Could do with something a bit more uptempo at this point though.
Track 6(Love) This is a bit better. It's still slowish but has a little more life in it. I was beginning to fall asleep! Horrible memories of Mick Flannery! (See my “Bitesize” journal)
Track 7(Love) Yeah it's okay but again it's really slow and downbeat. Don't quite feel like slitting my wrists but ...

End result: Following on from the serious headbanging of Anacrusis, this was a real comedown. Not that it was bad; I enjoyed pretty much all of it. But a lot of it was depressing and moody, and it really hardly ever lifted above that level all through the album, though it is at least a short one. A few more upbeat songs, I could have got more into this. Still, for what it was it was good.

So, Love or Hate? I sure don't hate it so I guess Love, but another sort of begrudging one.
