Mojave 3 - Puzzles Like You
Mojave 3's Spoon and Rafter was an amazing album - a tough one to improve upon. Puzzles Like You doesn't quite match it's success, but it's close. Overall, Puzzles is less atmospheric and a bit more upbeat. It does have a couple soft, sad tracks, like Most Days, which is as pretty as anything they've recorded. Breaking The Ice, the first single from the album, is an excellent pop song and a perfect single. Neil Halstead successfully experiments with different vocal effects (again) on To Hold Your Tiny Toes and The Mutineer. And like their previous albums, Puzzles has enough acoustic and slide guitar to retian their status as the best British alt country/folk band ever.
