Nate strikes me as someone who would be cheesy, and not in an ironic way either...
Looking forward to the album though!

Anything think it'll do something? "Nothing Without Love" seems to have had some moderate success on the HAC station over here, but there's kinda like no buzz for this?

It's like an album full of fun. rejects. There is nothing distinctive about it at all.

Oh man...this is a WEIRD album. It reminds me of a slightly less cheesy version of A Great Big Something. It's so...earnest that it hurts at times and Nate's voice can still grate but he actually uses it nicely in a few songs. All in all, I am glad I bought it. But yeah, I do agree that it's like the Some Nights album tracks blown up to full album status. I liked song of those non-singles better than what was released anyway so good for him. The artwork is also really cool, with postcards for each song with a pic and lyrics on each.

Hello, any Nate's fans here? There is not much buzz around his solo project, and he is not doing too well so far in sales. I think his first single was very weak compared to other songs on the album. I closely follow his career because - in my opinion - he deserves better. His Grand Romantic is really not worse that Fun's Some Nights. In my modest personal opinion his solo album is very, very good.
Today he performs on ESPY awards ceremony and I keep fingers crossed for him impressing the audience. Hope, this is start of his steady sales. I still believe that he will be OK on the long run (words of mouth maybe?).
I am not a rabid fun. I just think this guy is very, very talented.

He's currently the #1 search on iTunes; not sure why.

I actually liked this. Should've done better.
I liked everything except for AhHa.
