Let me tell you why Has Been is one of the best albums of the decade: brilliant arrangements that perfectly capitalize on Shatner's grandiose vocal style, a huge amount of variety that ensures the record never gets boring, a perfect balance of self-deprecating humour (the title track, "I Can't Get Behind That") and honest emotion ("That's Me Trying," "What Have You Done"), and the obvious, earnest emotion that went into the project. This record means something to Shatner, and in turn, it means something for listeners, too. The guest performances (Joe Jackson, Henry Rollins, etc.) are great as well. Has Been is phenomenal.
