Actually, Chalk Mark was one of those albums at first that I sort of Sulked at and put away for boring days, but sure enough, I began to enjoy the layered sound of it and I realized what was attractive to me about the album, The Rhythm.. It has this "Tribal" rhythm.. I dont know if that is a good descriptor, but you can sort of shake your hips to it in a way. The combination of drums and bass and guitar and keyboards, especially on "Lakota" and "Number One" serve this "tribal" feeling. I should proabably listen to it more and do a better opinion piece on it. Overall, it is not a favorite album, aside from Rhythm, not too cohesive, yet some of my favorite songs are on there.
