It definitely grows on you. The sound is so different to the Once soundtrack, I don't know if they are really comparable. In Once, when you watch the movie, you see/hear the songs in action, being written for a purpose and so forth. This album is more static and not as identifiable. So all-in-all, I probably like the Once soundtrack better, for sentimental reasons. The live stuff is so good though, it's thoroughly enjoyable. I suggest the cynics give the album another listen or two before making a final decision.
