Pete Yorn’s latest release, “Day I Forgot,” should have been named

“Musicforthemorningafter: Disc 2.”

If you liked Yorn’s debut release, give “Day I Forgot” a try. For listeners who like variety and change in an artist, don’t waste your time.

To Yorn’s credit, the lyrics on this project are great if you can look past the incredibly lame track “Burrito.” “It’s a 7-11/Do you want to take a walk outside/If you want a burrito/You can have another bite of mine”.

Just like “Musicforthemorningafter,” Yorn wrote all the lyrics, played the acoustic and electric guitars, drums and percussion, bass, piano and sings all the songs.

Yorn does stand apart from the crowd of one-man band singer-songwriters by staying away from drum machines and other synthesized sounds.

Yorn’s ability to make a catchy tune is proved once again with the track “Long Way Down.” With the melodic chorus and brilliant guitar work, the song will be the “Strange Condition” of this album.

For music listeners who judge an album by the front cover, or pay no attention to the lyrics, go ahead and leave Avril Lavigne’s “Sk8er Boi” in your CD player on repeat. For those who enjoy smart music, check out Pete Yorn’s “Day I Forgot,” you won’t be disappointed.
