It starts off well enough, with warm electric/acoustic guitars playing in the rich, earthy tradition of American folk rock, but slowly descends into a sort of Coldplay-meets-Neil-Young bland indie record. And that’s never a good thing, in my modest opinion. While he plays his guitar well enough and sings quite sweetly, the problem with our singer/songwriter Mr. O’ Sullivan seems to lie in the deep and dark abyss of originality. Develop your own style, man, and it should all be very much better. Nobody wants to listen to the same old, recycled stuff over and over again.
