Actually my first thoughts of the album was that the voices sounded like the
connells of past.  But, the music was not like anything they have ever done
before.  I haven't figured it out yet but there is something missing in this
new album.
 
I think the songs: "Maybe", and "Just Like That" are the two songs that
remind me of the earlier connells sound.  What do y'all think.
