A fantastic listen, front to back!
Disclosure - This review is for the 16-track Deluxe Edition CD:According to Amazon, I bought this album in July of 2015 and I did so mostly for the several "hit" songs. However, I never gave it a full listen front to back until just today and WOW, was I ever missing out. The album proper (the first 12 tracks) are fantastic, I can easily listen to them straight through and did. Out of the remaining 4 songs on the Deluxe Edition, 3 carried on in the same vein as the main album and were equally as catchy/memorable. there was really only the one song I'd skip and even then, it was just one song and his voice is just so damn good that I imagine I'd just let it play regardless. Today's full album listen not only inspired me enough to write this review but also to be even more excited for his new album that is coming at month's end. As for me, I own TONS of CDs and my musical range is quite varied and even then, this album stands out for me.

Fun, Enjoyable & Almost Raucous at Times!!!
I heard "Budapest" on a local pop station last Fall and immediately liked it. And shocked to hear that that voice was from someone barely 21 years old. I ordered the 2 track CD (that was all that was available at the time) and received it just in time to take it on vacation to Sedona, AZ where I played it frequently. I'm currently taking some R&R beach time in Galveston, TX and ordered this album to take with me. I've played it every day since I got here and can't get enough of this young man's music. I'm 68 and listening to George's music reminds me of all the fun times I had at his age. The fact that he's 21 probably accounts for why most of the songs are about the girls in his life. "Budapest" is one of the sweetest love songs I've heard in a long time and attests to just how deeply we can fall in love at that age. But I particularly liked the hand-clappin', foot stompin' first track "Blame it on Me" as well as "Over the Creek", "Listen to the Man" and "Drawing Board". I hope he has a long, successful singing career and look forward to more great music from him.

Every now and then and album comes along....
This album is one of those incredibly rare albums that I genuinely like from the first playing, and more each time thereafter. Indeed, since we received this album we just can't seem to stop going to it as our music-of-choice. My wife and sons (10- and 8-years) are just as compelled by it as am I. That a 21-year old British guy can produce such mature, thoughtful and attention-holding music reminds me of how young the Beatles were when they started changing the musical landscape. Additionally, coming out of such a young man, Ezra's voice is almost other-worldly. I learned of this guy by seeing him perform "Budapest" on a talk show and was instantly intrigued. Purchased the album only having heard that song and was thrilled to quickly realize that every song on the album is equally strong and interesting.This is without contest my #1 musical "find" in quite a while; I give it my maximum recommendation. Cannot wait 'til his next release to see if he can match or even top this extraordinary creation. Listen to any sample of any song from this album. If it grabs you, don't hesitate a moment to order the entire album. You will not be disappointed.

Superb George Ezra Album that’s full of great tracks.
Since first discovering George Ezra quite late after hearing ‘Paradise’ on his new to be released album, I was recommended this, his first album ‘Wanted on Voyage’ and have been very pleased with it. When buying albums there aren’t many that are full of great tracks but this one is superb. Very pleased and look forward to his latest album when it’s released later this month.

Great CD Choice
First time I have come across George and what a musician! This guy is made for festival music and hope he has a great time at Glastonbury this year as I think hes going to go down very well indeed.

Sadly disappointing.
I purchased this CD purely for Budapest which I love. However, having played the CD through from start to finish, I found myself relating to the "lower starred reviews" whereupon they have found his voice and songs boring. Whilst I find George's voice unlike so many others (which makes it unique), I also found I couldn't listen to him for too long or too frequently. Disappointed. With hind-sight I should have just purchased the single.
