I don't know if it's me, but if you listen close to his voice you'll hear this extra tone on top of it that comes across really inauthentic to me. It may just be his voice, but it sounds like a nice bit of auto-tune may have been added to keep his voice in key, although it probably wasn't needed. I have a sensitive ear to this since I've done a bit of music production myself in the studio.

I'm not talking about T-Pain kind of auto-tune use, but the subtle pitch perfect use of it to keep a voice in tune. If that's so, a big two thumbs down, but either way, I won't vote a rating on this song.
 
Yep. I hear it too. For me, it's not so much the extra sounds you hear, as there are places where any unaltered voice would slide between the notes a bit, and he doesn't. There are tones I expect to hear that are missing because they've been autotuned out.

Is this the same Red Box as from 80s?
  
Yep! They released a new album 20 years after the last one. The sound has changed a bit though, but I think the change was for the better. I really liked this song.


So. Does that mean their album costs a buck, but if I don't listen to it overnight, I'm hit with late fees?
