Lee Bozeman has come a long way since his days in the punk inspired pop/rock outfit Luxury; long gone are all elements of punk and he generally sticks within the confines of American shoegazers and popsters like Bon Voyage, Starflyer59 or Aaron Sprinkle with a touch of mid 90s alternative. Nothing new is really shown here but unlike most modern musicians Lee wears his emotions and beliefs on his sleeves in heart wrenching fashion, which has caused him numerous controversies, from his blatant Christianity to his talking explicitly about lust and desire.

This album is not for people with closed minds, but those who enjoy listening to truly passionate music will love this album.
