to Wikipedia)
i had to order the album and
the previous one from amazon.uk because it has not been released in the
us....only the single glad you came....these are a couple of pretty good
albums...nice beats, nice hooks, danceable music, some lyrics are a bit
boy-band-ish and sophomoric but, very intensely passionate about relationships
etc... everything one would expect from a typical boy band. they are fun to listen to and the writing has
some nice colorful, quote-able lyrics.
