"Maybe his best solo album, some great songs here: Speedway to Nazareth, Silvertown blues, What it is, and the title track. Note the listing is for the US version, the international version has "13. One More Matinee" instead of "6. Do America"" Reply

"A seriously great collection of energetic and dirty sounding songs. The vocals and distorted instruments go so well together. I can't believe these guys aren't more talked about. This and their even better follow up are two of the best albums of the era. Each song on the album can stand on its ow..." [+] Reply

"A serious OME album was a little unexpected but it’s done very well! The production is mellow but still interesting and the lyrical content is A+. Favorite track is Happy Wasteland Day." Reply

"For me, this album is worse than te first, but anyway it is really good, with one of the best intro as first song." Reply

"A haunting debut album, just mostly Roberta & her piano singing songs she'd performed for the past 18 months at Mr Henry's in Washington DC.

"This album's a little more serious, or sullen if you may, than their first two. Take "don't change your plans" which finds Ben Folds in the autumn of love sitting on his suitcase with the end of the relationship in sight, closing the song "i love you, goodbye". i love the tragic beauty of "mess",..."
