I work in a CD shop so get to have a wide choice of CD's this I would hugely recommend. Along with Daughtry's Leave This Town this is my fave album of the past 12 months. It's not just 5 or 6 tracks its the whole album, full of catchy tunes and wonderful lyrics. A good artist is someone who can create a wonderful album with every song, not just the first few. Erik Hassle does that
