You may... but I'm not sure I'd entirely agree with you.
"When We Were Young" is a nicely constructed 'concept album' (almost),
very slick, sonicly superb, but I can't help but feel that it sounds a
bit emotionally 'flat' to me. For mellow and melancholic I'd almost
rather listen to the Dido album; I can 'connect' with it a bit more,
guess that's a bit difficult to explain. And for a contemporary 'theme'
album, I'd rather listen to Art Of Noise's "Seduction Of Claude Debussy"
(which incidentally is _superb_).
That said, it's a really good album; tracks such as "Oh How Sweet" and
"Under The Sun" are compelling. But it doesn't grab me the way some of
Rollo's other work does. Sorry.

_Some_, yes. But, in my opinion, it's not as emotionally moving as a
Faithless album. Still well worth the money though. :-)
