Album Description:
2003 solo album debut for the Canadian singer/songwriter, his first since the dissolution of the Matthew Good Band. 13 tracks.
Album Details:
Canada's King of Angst-pop First Post-matthew Good Band Solo Project.

As a Writer, as a Person, etc. So as I Wrote the Record I Confronted a Lot of Aspects of Making Music that I Had Never Allowed Myself to Before. And in the End I Really Found Myself Writing Short Soundtracks to Various Thoughts and Realizations Rather Than Proper Songs.

Before long I owned "...Ghetto ... Read More

This album is absolutely amazing.
It's honestly like nothing I've ever heard before. The first time I listened to it I wasn't sure what to expect but I was not let down. His voice brings the exceptional touch to each song. Favourites include: In a world called catastrophe (it feels as if this song is never going to end... but who said that was a bad thing??), avalanche (the audio effects on the vocals are haunting.. the music is magnificent), 21st century living (short and sweet), while we were ...

this cd begins with a roar, some of the best rock of the last decade, but sadly it fades into mediocre.

Right this album seems to be one continous song dragged over many tracks, his constant struggle to express his feelings is dragging his music backwards not forward. Listen to something good like John Legend.
