"She added a little grit to the somewhat "perky" debut, still doing everything as well as before. "home" is unofficially my favorite of all her songs, a longing ode for home, as in lyrics "Afraid of feeling nothing, no bees or butterflies / My head is full of voices and my house is full of lies". ..."  [+]  Reply

"This is the third of a three-album peak for this band, from a time when they had three excellent songwriters all hitting their marks. The real standout on this one is Jason Isbell, who contributed three instant classics in "Danko/Manuel," "Never Gonna Change," and "Goddamn Lonely Love.""  Reply

"A very messy album. Really, it's just a hotchpotch album of songs written for highlander, a meant to be stand alone single and a few hastily written new tracks. Again, like all their later albums the singles are the best songs. One vision, the title track are very good but who wants to live forev..."  [+]  Reply

"One of my favourite indi rock albums from the 2000s. Not a weak track and I'm surprised it's not rated much higher considering I'd expect the YYY's to hit a demographic sweet spot on this site."  Reply

"For the sake of disclosure, I lived in Boston in the early 80s when MoB was paying it's dues as a club band playing in such club dives as the Rat, Cantones, the Underground & the Channel. I saw at least 100 shows by MoB from 1979 until their final show in 1983 at the Bradford Ballroom. MoB was si..."  [+]  Reply

"A really forward thinking, unique rap album blending jazz, gospel and R&B instrumentals with cinematic lyrics and themes inspired by Tarantino, Samurai movies and anime."  Reply

"The follow up to the slightly disappointing goat's head soup. It's a much more urgent album, especially on the opener, if you can't rock me, followed by the temptations cover ain't too proud too beg, and off course the anthemic title track. After that, the best of the tracks are the ballads, 'til..."  [+]  Reply
