Something you need to get used to.

Review Score: (8/10)
I bought this CD as a recommendation from my friend, plus, I knew some of the songs and liked them. (If You're Gone, Leave, Bent) However, when I first played the CD, the only other song besides If You're Gone, Leave, and Bent that I liked was The Burn. I felt very jipped and didn't play the CD much afterwards. Later on, I decided to give it another try and I got more used to the music, though I still didn't /love/ it. Then, after giving it another third try, I ended up liking it a lot more. One of my favorite songs from it is now Last Beautiful Girl. This CD isn't something that I liked from the beginning, but after a few tries it was definitely worth it.
