	Gary Jules - trading smaekoil for wolftickets
	Location	San Diego
	Initial Impression	Man, if you're gonna put your tatooed fist on the cover, don't open the album with a song as mellow as "Broke Window".
Notable Lyric	"There's no poetry between us, said the paper to the pen." - "No Poetry"
Factoid	The final track, "Mad World", appears on the Donnie Darko soundtrack. It's a great song, and I'm sure would be that much more impressive if I had ever heard of Donnie Darko.
Serve With	Hummus and something from your hippie neighbor's natural garden.
Comments	It took me a while to get used to Gary Jules' laid-back style – I've been listening to much angrier stuff lately. Once the CD gets going, though, the songs take on a stronger emotional thrust. Jules never leaves the mellow, almost sleepy vocal quality, but the clever mixing of the right music with just the right words injects the music with lots of feeling. I got a little tired of the hippie-folk throwback tunes in the middle of the CD, but the last three or four songs (especially "Barstool" and "Mad World") are worth the wait.
