Better then the last two

"I love Darren Hayes, and I enjoy this album much more then his last two solo ventures. The problem for Darren I think is that everyone compaires him to his Savage Garden days. And he kind of needs to respect that, seeing that all of us that were in jr high, high school during that time, are now reviewing his art.
I have to say that Darren has one of the BEST male voices I have ever heard! His range is amazing and that is one of the reasons I rated this album so high. Unfortunately, I DO miss the edgeyness that SG songs like, I WANT YOU, TEARS OF PEARLS, and CHAINED TO YOU gave him.
Yes, there are good songs on this album, ("Setting Sun", The Tunning of Violins", "Walk Away") but many times I felt like I wanted the current song to finish so I could see what the next one was like. There were also times when the melody was perfect but I felt the lyrics were not right and vice versa.
A disc like this make me appreciate the importance of song order on an album."
