I agree Khelda, especially about changing favourites. When I first heard the album (in snippets) I felt disappointed, but having heard it in full a few times now I think Gareth can be proud. He's certainly matured musically and this album deserves to be heard. It's well balanced and right up to date, with something for everyone I think. My favourites seem to change on each listening, so that now I feel that they are all favourites - I don't feel inclined to skip any, which is a testament to the quality of the album. Gareth's voice is beautiful and never more so than on Can't Believe It's Over. At first I couldn't take to Afterglow, but it's starting to grow on me, as has Talking Minds. If there is to be another single release from the album I think it should be upbeat and catchy - Lost In You stands out for me in this respect. When I saw that there were only ten tracks on the album I felt a little cheated, but I have to say that quality is more important than quantity and there are certainly no 'fillers' here. It's been a long time, but well worth the wait. Thanks Gareth.
