"It's insane that this came out in 1996; it's from a different time and place entirely. It is a stunning debut album." Reply

"Well, this is not what I expected. It's less Hipster-ish and more Lilith Fair/NPR-ish. That's not necessarily a bad thing. But if you're going to travel down that well-trodden road, it would be nice to bring something fresh to it. Baker doesn't. Stylistically, the artist Baker most reminds me of ..." [+] Reply

"A terrific singer-songwriter album. It's pretty dark and introspective and makes an excellent headphones or solitary listen in the dark, with coffee and/or alcohol. Night Shift is one of the best songs I've heard this year." Reply

"All shapes of sadness on this album. But as a whole the album seems a bit boring. Good songs: 1. Normal song. Magic mix of voice and acoustic guitar. Dreamy 2. Dark parts. Sentimental and honest with nice image: "dark parts" 3. Hood. The most interesting, has drive. I like the line "U would never..." [+] Reply

"Nevermind: the whole damn thing is superb. Another excellent work from Pharoah that nearly rivals Karma. There's no beating Karma, but this is still an essential album. It has a very cool flow to it; always moving and changing and progressing, while always toeing the line between form and formles..." [+] Reply

"One of the greatest tenor albums ever. One of the greatest jazz albums ever. This is a must for any fan of sax, jazz or hard bop." Reply

"Mixed feelings about this one. It has some great songs like Living Is a Problem Because Everything Dies, Saturday Superhouse, 9/15ths and Machines but 4-5 tracks are quite skippable. The rest of the record shows Neil's improvement in songwriting. Overall a good listen but nothing more" Reply
""Beat Your Ass" picks up on "Inside-Out" and gives the swift kick in the ass the album title suggests. They're back with some upbeat guitar pop ready to take names and they want YOU to know it. That wry smirk of yours has Yo La Tengo written all over it." Reply
