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.

I’ve long been a fan of Against Me!, so when my buddy Russ told me that the lead singer had an EP coming out… I had to make sure to find it. Hardcore fans might write this EP off, as it strays away from the punk sound AM! is known for, and most of it is acoustic… almost folky. Every song is great though (my favorite being “Anna Is A Stool Pigeon”) and my only complaint is that it’s not an LP instead.
