6/9/09 – The Rebirth of Venus

There are “feel-good” albums, and then there’s anything created by Ben Lee.  I think he’s mastered the concept.  While there’s nothing particularly fantastic or catchy about this album, it’s a solid pop album that’ll leave you with a smile on your face.  The bonus disc of covers is a rare gem – Ben Lee covering the song The Ataris wrote about him is the most surreal thing I’ve heard in a while.
