I've had "Boomslang" for a few days now and I must say I like the album.
I was expecting the worst, but it's actually rather enjoyable. There are
no bad songs on it. Unfortunately there are also no GREAT songs on it
either. So not an album to go gaga over, and not a very original or ambitious piece of work, but certainly a keeper.

"Last Ride," "You are the Magic," and "Down on the Corner" are stand outs. But the best songs, I think, are "Something to Shout About" and the extremely catchy "Caught Up." "Caught Up" could probably be a hit single.

So...how are the b-sides to the single? Worth the 13 bucks Amazon is charging?

I give it Three Stars out of Five.
 
I agree, I didn't know what to expect, but it suprised me. I saw him in Chicago and it was a great show. I was suprised that his voiced was as strong as it was (not Morrissey's but not bad at all). Caught Up is my favorite song as well. All of the others that you mentioned are good too. Don't know about the single though.

I just ordered the single. = )
 
How are the B-sides? What are the names of the tracks? Hope they are good.
