"Apples and Synthesizers" was one of my greatest disappointments in 2004, due to the unfortunate addition of weak, grating processed vocals and frequently sub-par lyrics, a dearth of new material, and fewer of the sweet melodies of previous releases. The exceptions are "My Radio" (fine vocals, good lyrics and stunning music) and "For You," both of which have been released already in two different versions apiece (not counting remixes). Im glad the album was well received, but for me the extraordinary quality of earlier releases is not matched on "Apples and Synthesizers."
