Weaknesses: it's only 11 songs :) Summary: MRVSS packs all of the haunting melodies and deeply soulful sound that sets Matthew Ryan apart; but the story of these eleven songs is decidedly less a personal one than he shared on “From a Late Night High Rise”. I feel like he was trying (and I think succeeding) to tap into a collective consciousness. Whether you are trying to make the world a better place or just trying to make sense of life and love, this album screams, “Yeah, I get it. I’m right there with you”. The trick, and the beauty, is that in his view, it’s a layered and complex tale. And like Picasso or you may never truly understand the artist’s intent, but you will undoubtedly find something new and valuable every time you revisit the masterpiece. This one is worth the price of admission and more. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.
