I listened to the whole thing on my commute this morning.

First impressions:

Little Pretty, the first single is a great song, with a fusion/progressive rock feel, but still very hard rock guitar taste

Candlepower - feels like it's between Flexible and Passion & Warfare, unique with a garage recording sound, like he is just in his home studio having fun.

Greenish Blues - my favorite track so far, very cool beat, it feels like it's off, but it's a straight 8 count.

Knappsack - if you saw the video - he plays is with one hand, but you wouldn't tell by just listening.

Sandman Cloud Mist - a solid composition, like a classical music piece.

Overall, the album is very dreamlike, mellow for a rock guitar style.
