Review: Grant Lee Phillips "Strangelet"

I need to break out a new ranking scale for this one...instead of stars, it seems more appropriate to use Zs. And I'll give this one 5 out of 5 possible Zs: ZZZZZ

I was attracted to hear GLP due to the comparisons to the Boss (in his mellow acoustic mood) and Dylan. I can understand the comparison to a degree, but Bruce and Bob have something GLP's latest CD did not have: an engaging track! Actually, that is not fair. A lot of Bruce's acoustic stuff lately is also deserving of a multiple Z ranking.

Maybe its me, but based on this CD alone I don't agree with the hype of the critics. If you are curious, here is his myspace page.

iPOD-worthy: 3
