I just listened to the whole album's 90 second samples on iTunes.
This guy obviously knows his way around an arrangement and a chord progression.
I have no idea if he plays actual instruments, but I don't hate this as much as I did that fucking Fireflies song.
IMO, most of the music is actually very lovely, the melodies are solid for the most part. I like the style (pet Shop Boys, New Order, etc.)
But this guy's insipid lyrics and obnoxious voice are the dealbreakers for me.
No way I'd give this dude my money,
(I might listen to the samples again sometime though,
)
