Yeah "In my own words" is also a great album. I have that one as well.
I think Mika's albums are some of the most original albums made in the past 10 years.
You can't compare it too any other albums that have been released.
I love the way he writes his songs. They have meaning and he spends a lot of time getting the sound of the music just right for his standards.
Those albums are high on my list of best albums I've bought these past 10 years.
Nice too see someone else appreciates his music as well :)
