Listening to the released songs and the 30 second samples a few more times, they are starting to grow on me.
I'm starting to form a clearer opinion. I think it's that, for me, I like the material I've heard, but it just seems that there's not enough variety stylistically. Now, again, not having heard the whole album in full, there could be plenty of variety that I just haven't heard yet. Plus, if I throw this CD in a playlist with the Mullmuzzler albums and EoP, it could be part of a great mix.
What I mean by not enough variety is that, while each of these songs would be good on their own, when placed next to a few songs with a similar vibe, they start to cancel each other out a bit. Again, this is obviously just my opinion, and I'll probably end up buying the album, because in spite of that criticism, it still sounds pretty good so far.
