I have much less than love for this album

"I first saw Finley Quaye open for Ben Harper in 1997 and I quickly thereafter went out and bought Maverick a Strike. What an album his first one is- without a doubt his best to date. Vanguard grew on me after several months of listening to it, and I think it is also a strong work. I can't, however, seem to take this latest CD of his seriously. Look how many people are selling thiers used through Amazon- over 60! What does that tell you? Well, it tells you that if you buy this CD new then I have a bridge to sell you. If you are a big FQ fan like myself, buy a used copy and see for yourself. But don't have high expectations; simply put, Quaye's talent does not come through in this album. It's a piece of fluff."
