He hasn't abandoned his appreciation of pop-rock, just replaced it with a band sound that is heavier. Sort of the difference between Neil Young playing with hired guys and Young with Crazy Horse. He also writes from a very moral perspective, which gives his records a strong POV. These songs are not filled with empty thoughts but actually try to say something. </p> <!-- google_ad_section_end --> Sat, 20 May 2006 00:10:00 -0700
