"Spoon practically always delivers. There are some really thoughtful tracks here. I love the shout out to Austin Texas singer-songwriter Dale Watson in the title track. Recommended. Condensed to a 7" Single: A-Side: The Hardest Cut B-Side: The Devil & Mister Jones" Reply

"This was the first Parsons Album I listened to. The Intro Song (Sirius/Eye in the Sky) is Just hypnotic. Other Key Tracks are 'Silence and I' and 'Wise and old'. The only problem I have with this album is, that it has too much pop. (Children of the Moon, Fingers Burned, psychobabble, Step by step..." [+] Reply

"This album is just fucking amazing. I don't know why this hasn't been getting more attention. It's style is something I'm in love with. It's catchy and pop, but experimental and fresh at the same time. I will loop it for the next couple of days. Favorite songs: Velvet 4 Sale, Poem, Time" Reply
