Pete Yorn's voice is amazing. It really doesn't take too much more than that to make a great album. Yeah yeah, of course I consider the lyrics and the actual music that he's singing to. But with a great voice, you can spice up a dull song. Though, Yorn's songs are far from dull to begin with. Yorn uses a couple tricks and effects for his music right from the get-go on Musicforthemorningafter... which just makes it all the more fun. Tracks on this album cover a reasonably large range; the songs vary from upbeat and happy tracks, to ones oozing with so much sorrow and pain that you can actually hear it in Yorn's voice. I'm quite the sucker for depressing music so I get a little treat at some points. Don't worry though, this isn't an album that you'll be crying through. There are definitely enough changes in mood to keep you listening and happy.
I can't help but wonder about the album title...and I've concluded that this music may actually be good for the morning after. I've listed a couple of my favorite tracks below, but really every track on Musicforthemorningafter is great music. This is one of those albums that I liked on the first listen...and it hasn't gotten old either. I've had it for a couple of years now and still love listening to it. Basically...I HIGHLY recommend this one.
My vote: 4.5 stars
