Mainly liked American Pie, the classic title song, and also Vincent, which I had heard before, but had forgotten. American Pie is incredible, if you listen carefully to the words, in its ode to the passing of Buddy Holly, and the album is dedicated to Buddy Holly. Vincent is also an impressive song, referring to painter Vincent Van Gogh. Other songs I found good, though not great.
I must emphasize that I wanted to try the SHM Japanese version, as this different material is supposed to result in cleaner, clearer sound. Just listening off a simple portable sony discplayer, and I found the sound quality to be impressive, the cleanest among a number of other discs I played. The instruments and his vocals seemed more separated, almost 3-D off the headphones, and the sound just jumped out at me. Actually had to lower the volume due to increased dynamics. Will be interesting to try this on actual speakers, as definitely impressed.
