I am writing this review several years after first purchasing the album. I was drawn to buy it off the back of hearing one song "Oxygen". Now this tactic is usually a very hit and miss one but on this occasion was very much a hit! Although at first the rest of the album seems to never quite reach the spine tingling and emotionally stirring heights of "oxygen" it does offer simple yet stirring meloncholic songs that are thrust into a different level by Willy Mason's worn and brewding voice which sounds more like an old blues singer in his retirement rather than the young and fresh talent that he is. "Where the humans eat" is certainly one of those albums that will grow on you over time and after listening to the album from start to finish on several evenings reading a book, writing your essay or simply enjoying the beautiful voice of Mason you will find the songs he writes both comforting and easily accessible. The lasting impression from Willy Mason's debut is the impact of Mason's voice, it is truely unique in todays music and a voice you can really get lost in. My stand out track is "Oxygen". This is truely the stand out track of the year let alone the album. A real gem of a song which is refreshingly insightful. Listening to the lyrics of Oxygen you really feel the frustration of Mason in modern America and standing up to the commercial values we are constantly surrounded with. With lines like "Do you remember the forgotten America, justice, equality, freedom to every race" this song really is a hard hitting and emotional piece of music. This was however a hard choice as there are no poor songs on this album and when looking through the tracklisting it is very hard to seperate these superb tracks.Read full review
By far some of his best work! It's hard to compare 'Where The Humans Eat' to his later release 'If The Ocean Gets Rough' they're both very unique. But if you loved one you're guaranteed to enjoy the other too. As for this album, the standard of song writing is some of his best and should not be missed out on!
I already had this album when it was first realeased but it got lost. well worth buying again. although i prefer a live session from willy mason with an accoustic guitar the album still has the same feel and is a great album to relax too. id give this album an 8/10 x
Above average. Got introduced to it by this little Irish girl. Album was really nice. If I had known of it a year and a half earlier I would have seen him in the Cockpit in Leeds (played early 2005). He has a nice arty farty website and a My Space thingy. Someone to look out for perhaps. Something I might have been saying in 2000 about Matt Belamy and look what happended to him :)
