I love his arrangements and its soo different from the music out there. If, you like originality and something soothing to listen to this is the album to buy. I use it to relax and take my mind of stuff.

this is just an amazing cd all-around. the title track is, by far, one of the best songs ever written. if you can't relate, well, you're just retarded.

I've listened to this album a few times and I always felt like Matt reminded me of another artist. I finally realized that he sounds like a male version of Aimee Mann, IMHO. So if you like her, chances are you'll like Aqualung.

Better late than never! I discovered Aqualung through a Scrubs soundtrack. "Easier to Lie" grabbed my attention and I thought the voice sounded a bit like Thom Yorke's but the style was so sweet and hopeful, it couldn't be Radiohead... The arrangement was nuanced and layered. I immediately did more research on Aqualung and just. fell. in. love. I found myself needing to hear Brighter than Sunshine all day long. It alone is worth this purchase.

And then there's "Left Behind" which unexplainably tickles my brain. I love it to itty bitty pieces. "If I Fall" is poetic, soothing and does something to my heartbeat. "Strange and Beautiful" is hauntingly languid. I could go on...

There are lots of comparisons to Keane, Coldplay, Radiohead, Death Cab for Cutie and even Muse. I don't see how this can be a bad thing. They all coexist quite nicely in my playlists.

Between this album and Memory Man I have 14 favorite songs, which is extraordinary in my personal experience (usually I'll love only around 3 songs from any album). I cannot wait for their next move.
