The differences between those final Grandaddy albums and the pair of solo albums Jason Lytle has released are really in name only. I mean no slight to the rest of the members of Grandaddy, but Lytle seemed to be such a decisive force over their sound and direction that only the superest of super Grandaddy fans could probably tell a difference here. Lots of synths and keyboards make up the bulk of the music here as in all Lytle-related recordings, with a simple drum backbone, a week but of guitar strumming and Lytle's easily-identifiable vocals. I read somewhere that this album (and really, any of his albums) sounds like a late night by yourself - introspective and maybe a little lonely. Being an only child, I like and am very comfortable with being by yourself, and maybe that's why his music speaks so well to me.
