Sean Sharp's Diary

This was pretty cool. Especially after it really finds it's groove in the second half. For some reason the first half feels so much more disjointed. Maybe it's just because it takes time to adjust to the many changes each and every song has. I think this "adjustment period" may make the run time seem like nothing. Once I was finally acclimated to how the songs were structured and I could find some interesting moments, it didn't feel like it would take a marathon to get to the end. The sound design and array of production as a whole is also a main factor in this. It is so all over the place instrumentally that it's hard for it to become dull. Somehow in all it's madness, it does maintain a certain style. "Oh! Frenchy" was what brought me here so much love for that song. I also have got to give props to the end of "Roll Up". When it gets all fast paced, it's just a great ending. "Three-Prong Sing-Along" also has a nice softer style to it that broke up a lot of the crazy production. The real star here though is the first half of the closer, "Clementine (Ain't No Clean)". What a great off-beat song that is cultivated in pure fun. Doesn't really seem like Mosie is coming back anytime soon but I'm glad I got to listen to this 8 years late.
