I'm a fan, but wasn't expecting much from this new album (or ever again, frankly).
But it's purty good to my ears. I appreciate that he knew what he wanted, and didn't try too hard to knock it out of the park, just good solid melodies, arrangements and recording. If listened to in order, the songs start out very plain and simplistic, with each one getting a little more complex. Some nice tempo change-ups, and interesting harmonies.
Some (or a lot) are redos of old tunes, but they have a "mature guy" patina to them that I like.
