Comments	This album probably is the exact equivalent to the live act. I like the occasional electric guitar chord to bring it to a whole 'notha level. There’s a track, called “Office Suite, Part I,” which sings about the woes of the corporate man who doesn’t want to be there; it is definitely one of the coolest tracks on the album. He even has a Dilbert doll, but don’t touch it: “I’ll break your fuckin nose,” he says. I really dig the Pink Floyd elements of this music, particularly the guitar solo at the end of “Old Enough” (Track 3). Some of the tracks might be a bit long and mellow, but overall, it’s actually very refreshing.
