I don't pay much attention to critics because most things just boil down to taste, once you get beyond basic competence. I love David Gray's music. He does wonderful things with his voice, with how he enunciates his words, with painting a mood. I have "White Ladder," "Sell, Sell, Sell," "A Century Ends," and "Lost Songs." I got the last three all in one purchase a few months ago and I've been listening a lot to "Sell" and "Century." In fact, some of you may have heard me sing his songs on PalTalk. Biskit, next time we're both on PalTalk I'll give you my rendition of "Babylon," okay? I haven't listened to "Lost Songs" more than once or twice yet, so I can't comment directly on it. I had a chuckle at the thought of the time frame (95-98), too, kind of like a business whose tagline says "since 1991" and expects that to generate consumer confidence, but for Pete's sake, that's nothing to get spitting mad about! Well, forgive this uncharacteristic rant; I just wouldn't want folks who've never heard David Gray to close themselves off to the possibility of listening to him. He's written a lot of stuff that I have found meaningful and even exhilarating. Margaret
