This album is not that great. Zooey Deschanel's voice is amazing, and if her counter part M. Ward could sing better this might be an okay album. The problem here is that most of the album are cover songs. I love Zooey's voice, but when it comes to covers they have to be amazing, or they are god awful. Unfortunately this is an example of the latter and Zooey's voice couldn't pull it out of that category. The original songs are better, but the overall CD isn't worth it.

I originally heard this playing in a store in Dublin, and I liked it so much that I stayed in the store extra long so I could listen to the 60s/70s soft gospel sound. Upon obtaining the band name from the kind cashier, I immediately ran home and bought it. . . it wasn't until I actually looked up the band I realized Zooey Deschanel was the vocalist. Being a fan of Douglas Adams (the role that I first knew her from was Trillian), I could appreciate the multitalent that she has, and the combination of her talent with that M. Ward is an absolutely brilliant pairing.

I've listened to it straight for over a week of wet, rainy walking and boring lectures, and I'm still not bored of it. Quite the contrary, actually. I like it more every time I listen to it. Even if you don't listen to it for the rest of your life, it will make at least week of it better. Honestly, I think that alone is worth it. This is a CD I'd recommend to anyone who likes music that is enjoyable and uncomplicated (re: not political or full of hidden messages).
