Sorry about all the personal stuff, but never the less, I strongly encourage everyone to see Pete Yorn and his band as often as possible, if people say Rock and Roll is dead...then Pete Yorn and his contemparies are the re- incarnation of what it once was.

The biggest risk on the album comes when Yorn kicks up the volume on the keyboards for "Come Back Home," which was the first single released from this album.
He’s correct in that Yorn has dug up some older sounds, where melodic guitars meets clinking keyboards and enhanced vocals – but what he forgets to tell us is that this music soaks into your subconscious like a warm spring mist.
Yorn’s songwriting is the framework for this album – the reason it is a solid start-to-finish CD.

 Pete Yorn - PopMatters Concert Review
The 27-year-old Yorn is, along with Ryan Adams, the American male singer-songwriter flavor of the week, widely acclaimed for last year's musicforthemorningafter, his first released album, and hailed in an endless series of write-ups as the next something, next Jeff Buckley, next Jackson Browne, next (fellow New Jersey native) Bruce Springsteen.
Pete Yorn has a lot going for him musically: a knack for writing relationship-gone-wrong songs, multi-instrument prowess, a seductively world-weary singing voice, and an excellent choice of influences ranging from Pavement to Neil Young to The Cure.
My more hopeful answer is that Yorn is still young, wasn't completely prepared for the level of success he's achieved over the last year, and is still struggling to develop the public persona to match his more mature songwriting skills.

 Pete Yorn - Day I Forgot CD review on AudioRevolution.com
Pete Yorn’s music is the sort that one will hear while watching the WB network: catchy, melodic, and containing its share of angst.
This follow-up to Yorn’s debut album, musicforthemorningafter, is pretty standard fare, and while it is pretty good, the only real differences within the album are between songs that are ballads or rock, except that they apparently couldn’t decide which was which.
Yorn seems to lean towards upbeat ballads, but often the music is overshadowed by guitars, drums, and other overproduced sounds.

Pete Yorn has somehow crafted a dramatically wistful piece of rock entertainment that has a balanced mix of rock, pop, and insightful lyrics that can quite possibly be compared to a blend of Bob Dylan and the Beatles.
I first heard Pete live as an opening act and even as he had to fix his amp himself because he couldn't afford roadies I knew it was magic.

When you think about it, Yorn has virtually made his name by touring his ass off in the last few years, so perhaps it does make some sense.
As such, this should be more than enough to tide fans over until the next time Yorn goes on tour (probably next month, given his track record).
