Puller is one of those bands that I always wanted to get into, but never got around to it. I liked the two or three songs I heard on various samplers, and I even have a For Love Not Lisa album (The Lost Elephant), but I've never gotten around to buying a Puller record. What this means is that I can't compare What's Mine at Twilight to previous Puller albums -- it exists purely on its own merit for me.
So is it a good album? I'm not sure. When I initially received my promo copy back in October 2000, I loved it. I live in the mountains of northeast Georgia, and the music fit perfectly with the change in season. But here it is, February 2001, and I'm less infatuated. What's Mine at Twilight certainly has its share of good songs -- "Hold On To Me" and "She's the One" are as good as any to come out of Tooth & Nail -- but the lyrics, while certainly sung with sincerity, can be a little incomprehensible at times ("She loves like she leaves / She leaves like she loves"), and Mike Lewis' voice can get a little old after awhile. I like this better than The Lost Elephant, but not as much as I thought I would.
