In a similar vein to the way The Strokes or The Gaslight Anthem (best two examples I can think of off the top of my head) took their genres and breathed new life into it without doing anything terribly tricky or special, Pete Yorn revitalizes the electro-acoustic singer/songwriter genre here. There is nothing Pete Yorn does here in regards to musical progress; all he was apparently interested in was packing an album full of incredible songs. Which he did. Very well.
I wrote a big-ass review for this but I only want to say this: the two key ingredients that make this album so good are 1) its subtlety and 2) its consistency. That's all you really need to know.
