The Futurist

The Futurist is a music CD composed, performed, and in 8/10 songs, written by none other than Robert Downey Jr.
The music really has a kind of earthy, soulful tone remniscent of Sting and/or the Dave Matthew's variety that I really like. While not all of his songs are winners in my opinion, he definitely has a well produced album here.
It's nice to see that actors are more than their movies/tv shows, and that they like to humanize themselves through other mediums. Believe it or not, RDJ also painted the artwork throughout the CD cover and on the CD itself, and his lyrics are a firm and occasionally sorrowful look at his own life.
Anyone else listened to this CD and liked/disliked?
For audio clips, here ya go (try Kimberly Glide or The Futurist):
