I have loved NY for years. I do like him best when he is loud and grungy.
His old acoustic stuff was great, but I think the more recent acoustic work lacks something, maybe it's because he doesn't seem to use a pick for much of it anymore. Living with War is a good album, but I think the drums are too far up in the mix, and the guitars are not prominent enough.
NY is the reason I have a Winfield 5e3.
