Swedish-born Kristoffer Ragnstam, the guy who looks like he's eating his jacket on the cover of his debut album, pulls out many variations of pop formula over thirteen tracks.  "Breakfast by the Mattress" is quite strong in delivery with a mix of rushing pop and falsetto, and no doubt it gets a crowd to rally.  However, the tempo of the songs vary heavily over the course of the album as Ragnstam settles into more straight forward compositions of "Man Overboard" and "Lonely Lane."  The title track constitutes as the mid-album reflective pause with its pleasing chorus and warm instrumentation, which is a nice surprise as it seems usual for most pop artists to make a horrid mistake in trying to be deep.  Other tracks, like "Too Close to the Curb" and "No One Told Me," erupt in a forceful energy that noches the album up a level.

Along with a few easy going outro tracks, the overall feeling is that this is a pretty good debut pop album from some guy we've never heard of.  It could be argued as predictable or unoriginal, but that's probably not what we're looking for when we want to just throw something on for a pleasant listening session.  Ragnstam doesn't lay out a dead fish anywhere on this disc, so it's certainly worth a listen for anyone interested.
