I'm going to bed, and it's a tie. Either way, some version of Estranged is the winner!

I'm most of the way through pt 2.

Really dig The Fighter too.

Early impressions (I'm only most of the way through the first listen): No matter what he writes, Jon seems to write songs that are enjoyable on some level. It's good to me to hear his voice.

But the album lacks guitars. It's heavily synthed and orchestrated. There's a lot of slower numbers, and the faster ones have an MOR sound to the production.

Army of One is a highlight. Amen manages to be pretty good. I'm going to need to give it more listens to fully absorb it. It's worth a fiver for sure.
