I Want Too Much (A House)

I have to admit that I bought A House's I Want Too Much without having actually heard any A House material. It was a gamble, but a relatively cheap one, so I was willing to take the chance. The first striking thing about the album for me was the lead singer's vocal style. I don't know much about music, so I'm not sure how to describe it, but it immediately made me think of Ironhorse's "Sweet Lui-Louise," if that gives any indication. The second thing that struck me was that the title track was unique, and I couldn't decide if I really liked it or really didn't. However, as I got further into the album, I found some songs that were more up my alley (which isn't to discredit the opening cut "13 Wonderful Love Songs," which I also enjoyed). Standout songs for me would be "Marry Me," "I Think I'm Going Mad," and "Small Talk."
