Sound: Howie Day is an excellent singer/songwriter and he loves to use lots of different guitar FX in his songs. His most popular songs are 'Ghost' and 'Sorry so sorry'. In this album, however, his music is a little different in terms of style. There is a little bit less acoustic in this record, so that opens the doors for plenty of effects. The sound is quite good, rich but savy at times...

Twenty-two-year-old singer-songwriter Howie Day's first album was a bit piecemeal, so for his second he started with a concept, and the concept was "Radiohead is a great band!"

Howie Day seems like a veteran after years of being on the road, but the fact that he's still in his early 20s should bode well for him and a long career. The singer-songwriter's last album Stop All the World Now was not exactly the smash, buzz-like hit that critics hailed like the preceding Australia album, but Day still managed to put out a quality album with some string touches. Now, this new edition features bonus material, including two acoustic versions of album tracks...
