I hear a mix of really obvious genre influences in his sound, especially after my ongoing Radiohead binge, so I'm hesitant to say he's crafted a personal sound. Maybe personal, but not a unique one.

After avoiding this album for some time, while people kept telling me its his best work, I finally gave it a try. Overall, I'd say we got a talented-ass vocalist who might have a knack for making music, but blew up before he had the chance to mature to anything valuable. I'd look forward to him fading out a bit and coming back with some spicy nicey.
