DARREN HAYES "secret codes & battleships" cd,2011

Darren was the vocalist and primary writer for 1990s duo Savage Garden who sold 27million albums in a few short years and gave us some of the best love songs/songs of pain that were written around that time...
this is Darren's fourth solo album,i thought he had only released two(tension and the spark is the only other one i was aware of)...
if you guys know or remember Savage Garden, this one has the same sort of feel and sound,only difference is that this is more synth based than actual instruments...i cant say anything on here can be called a 'classic', but its a reasonably good album from a guy from Australia who is not a traitor and lives in Frisco!
i actually have the 'deluxe' version of the album but havent played the second disc of seven tracks as yet.
also, it was actually a tough call to choose best track here between the one i ultimately decided on and the final track 'the sirens call'.
