"Every song on this album is an absolute gem. It seems that no matter what mood I am in, this music seems to accompany it well. What a tragedy that this man didn't have the opportunity to make more music."  Reply

"I prefer the single-CD edition of this album, that came out in 1995! It omits the tracks "Beautiful Sister", "Giftland" and "Sungravy" and contains edited versions of "Leave It Like That", "The Wheel" and "On My Pillow"."  Reply

"Being an Australian I’m probably more than a little biased in saying Courtney Barnett is a national treasure & proof that if someone can go from their bedroom in Preston Melbourne to global stardom and appearing on Ellen within a short few years, well, anyone can And despite the middling critical..."  [+]  Reply

"This was the hidden gem of 2017 for me. This is his second album, which he somehow got Sturgill Simpson to produce. Maybe he wants to help another Kentucky boy make good. Or maybe, like me, he just loves this dude's voice. Favorite tracks: Whitehouse Road, Feathered Indians, Universal Sound"  Reply

"Gorgeous album from Christian Lee Hutson, produced by Phoebe Bridgers. His lyricism is incredible throughout, especially impressed with Northsiders. Incredible guitar-work as well, feels very reminiscent of Simon & Garfunkel."  Reply

"The best way I can describe this album is its simply an obvious tip of the hat to every 60's band and style that influenced Mr.'s Partridge and Moulding. I prefer this album to many of the actual XTC studio albums and I am a huge fan of XTC. I have many friends who don't like XTC that much but lo..."  [+]  Reply

"An extremely charming album, it's also an album of much maturity for Modern Baseball. No matter what, this album always manages to wiggle into my feelings, regardless of when I listen to it. I'd recommend this to anyone who has a taste for emo."  Reply
