His song titles are mind-blowingly pretentious. Completely ridiculous.

Still, pretty good music to listen to.

Eh. I'm not that interested in his music. I kinda liked a few songs from the michigan great lakes album but don't think he's that great. I do know some people who fell in love with him after that illinois album blew up but was underwhelmed
