i have all his albums barring the new one, his voice gets to me every time and often makes me almost want to keel over in tears its so good, his grasp and containment of baroque and traditional tin pan alley style pop is wonderful, but for all of this, i cant help but think his best *song* is still his remake of the beatles across the universe. i still dont think hes actually made an album chock full of fantastic songs as good as hes (indicated he hopfully might be) capable of. hes sort of like the beck of his milieu.
