Gary is an amazing talent for our times. Album could've been a bit better, but it's cool to see him splice the blues back into pop.

I also dug Bright Lights. I don't want to give off the impression that I hate this album! haha I think it's a good album. I think it's what he needs to kick off his career in the limelight, just not his best. A little too unfocused, but that's also sort of the point of it I'm guessing. Like a demonstration of all of his talents.
