Product Description
From Amazon.com
The phonograph crackling that opens Pete Yorn's debut album is an appropriate gesture for an artist hailed as the best thing to come out of South Jersey since Bruce Springsteen. Actually, Yorn doesn't sound a thing like Springsteen, but he does possess a classic pop craftsmanship shared by tradition-minded singer-songwriters such as Neilson Hubbard and Elliot Smith. On the cool, infectious "Life on a Chain," Yorn's relaxed crooning evokes the spirit of Bruce Cockburn, while "Simonize," ostensibly a love song penned by Jack the Ripper, calls to mind Big Star-period Alex Chilton. Rhythmically, the part-time drummer and multi-instrumentalist (he scored the Farrelly brother's movie Me, Myself and Irene and plays most of the instruments here himself) leans toward the drone lilt of early New Order and Joy Division, resulting in a smooth fusion of American and Anglo influences that make Yorn a new artist well worth watching. --Bill Forman
Album Description
Originally released in 2001 this version includes 4 bonus tracks 'Knew Enough To Know Nothing At All', 'Dancing In The Dark', 'China Girl' & 'New York City Serenade'.

5.0 out of 5 stars
picked it up and couldn't stop listening,
By Slothmo (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Musicforthemorningafter (Audio CD)
every week i make a trip over to my library to browse the cd collection, and about a year ago, i found this little gem in there. i am pretty open minded when it comes to artists i've never heard before. i had recently gotten into more acoustic rock music and this cd made my day. i could not stop listening to it. i still listen to it alot. if you enjoy this CD, I highly recommend you check out Yorn's "Day I Forgot" which is harder and poppier, but its still an amazing CD.

Why does all the music i like come from New Jersey?,
By Dan "dan" (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Musicforthemorningafter (Audio CD)
I bought this album not knowing what to expect. I must admit, although very listenable, it didn't catch me after one listen, it took 3 or 4 repeated listens. This is because there is no real standout tracks, just 15 well orchestrated songs that flow together so well. It did though, take me off guard lyrically. All the songs are incredibly solid lyrically, I can't find a line that seems out of place, and each tracks tells an amazing story.Fav Tracks: Life on a Chain Black For Nancy Murray

Say What?,
By Kevin (Chicago, IL, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Musicforthemorningafter (Audio CD)
I can't believe all of the reviews! This album really bored the crap out of me. I think that there were 3 songs that sounded different from all the others. The only reason i gave it 2 stars is because the stuff isn't too bad. Pete Yorn just needs to difersefy the styles of songs a little. Don't buy this album, it's like paying 15 dollars for 3 songs.
