I listen to this album a lot now, and it is one of my favorite albums. Every track on this album compliments each other and it seems that there is no filler on this track list. The arrangements; the vocals; the lyrics. They are all molded into a masterpiece. Each track deserves its own recognition:
Faith:This track is very simple, but it is also very enjoyable. It has a great guitar rhythm and a hook that is really catchy.
Father Figure:This is one of my favorite tracks. I think it is a work of art and fits this album perfectly. It has a way of showing that love can be dark and misunderstood and it matches the theme of the album. It has religious allusions in the title, but it goes on to a more human experience.
I want your sex (Part 1&2) : This track s fun. You can dance to it. It also maintains a subtle theme in the album, "I don't need a bible, just look in my eyes." Its a clever, catchy song with some new instruments brought in like horns to give it more of a funk feel. I like it, but it is one of my favorites on the album.
One more try :I'll admit, this track took a couple of times to get into it. After awhile though, I actually found it a really great track. The lyrics are so powerful here. Listen to feel the sadness and request for redemption for yourself.
Hard day:I like this song a lot.
Look at your hands:I feel that this is a very underrated track. It is my second favorite on the album. It has this nice ambient feel and the vocals are soft yet outstanding, in my opinion.
Monkey: It is actually a really fun track. I really like the version on the music video, but this was different on the album. Nonetheless, great track. Having a "monkey on your back" means to me that there is a person who has an addiction (whether it be drugs or a lover) and though this monkey is harmful, the attention that it demands is given.
Kissing a fool:I can't even begin to describe my admiration for this track. IT is my favorite. The lyrics, the music, and the vocals: it is all perfect. The track maintains this lovely melody throughout and then it picks up and takes you up, but just as it does, it settles you back down. Everything seems timed so precisely. It is a very good track and even of you,buy the album (which you should do).You won't regret it.
Hard day Remix:Good song.
I want your sex (part 3):It was a good way to end the album. It is more subtle and sensual than parts 1 and 2. Its actually a pretty good track. Its also good that parts 1&2 and 3 were separated because it could have gotten very boring, but they avoided the problem well.
Overall, it is a great album. I really enjoy it.
