...much of a privilege to dive into Crowe's brain as Bob Dylan's or Kurt Cobain's, but Crowe's music, like Thornton's, is competent, inoffensive and short on surprises.

Instead, pick up a paean to local legend Osama bin Laden. Though he is considered a terrorist and all-round pariah in the West, at home his name moves merchandise...
...songs revolve around themes of distance and intimacy, and Yorn refuses to fall into the cliche of lonely singer/songwriter. Instead he notices the failings and exhilarations of love, avoiding the trap of the hopeless romantic. Vocally, he could be described as a fusion of a modern rock Springsteen mixed with an accessible and melodic Lou Reed...
