This is the music that Greg was mysteriously (and vaguely) talking about a few years ago. He didn't tell much but only said that he'd been putting some sounds together that he'd been composing for quite a few years for an unusual non-rock type beat. However, he thought it wouldn't be something he'd want to release through Bad Religion. Playing ALL instruments (namely Piano, acoustic & electric guitar, bass & drums), Graffin uses his familiar vocals but with a much slower tempo and very mellow beat to create this soft rock and jazzy collection of tracks. Without a doubt,don't just buy this on the grounds that you are a BR fan or just like Graffin because it may not sound anything like you expected it to. Personally,I do think it is quite a successful debut album but I could understand why it might not mix with the tastes of other BR listeners... but I think it's great!
If you're curious, go to the following link to listen to samples or buy the album from .....CD Now.
