I really think that not many singers can pull off such anguished and melodramatic content without sounding trite and insincere. Especially when the lyrics are somewhat bland and generic. He is definitely no Conor Oberst.</p> I gave some of his songs a listen a while back and had much the same reaction as you.

That said, check out “State of the Union” from his previous record: I Sincerely Apologise For All The Trouble I’ve Caused. That is a seriously good song and explains a big part of why I was willing to give this one some extra chances.

I also think you might enjoy his earlier work as the head of Easyworld, which was much more about glittery New Wave pop.
